For most Sierra Leoneans, #diamonds have been more of a curse than a blessing. An estimated 9 million carats of high-quality diamonds have been extracted from the small West African nation since rich alluvial deposits were first found by British colonialists in the 1930s, but the country has little to show for it. The diamond trade fueled a decade-long civil #war here that ended in 2002, taking some 50,000 lives. The precious stones paid for the rebels’ weapons, inspiring the 2006 @レオナルド・ディカプリオ blockbuster Blood Diamond, which indelibly linked sparkling engagement rings with their high human cost for a generation of consumers. Barely any of the wealth has filtered back to Sierra Leone itself, still one of the world’s poorest and least developed countries. A diamond found there in March 2017 may have upended that narrative.
