For ten years, the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) terrorized Sierra Leone. The rebel army hacked off limbs, massacred, raped and tortured the civilian population. Child soldiers with AK47s and drug-glazed eyes committed countless atrocities. At the heart of the war lay Sierra Leones diamonds.
Sierra Leone and other diamond-rich African countries are being torn apart as armed groups fight for control of diamonds. Rebel armies buy their weapons of war with funds from diamond sales. These diamonds, known as "blood" or "conflict diamonds" are later sold to unsuspecting consumers in the West as symbols of love and romance.
niknakgroups campaign Blood Diamonds are for Never is aimed at stopping diamonds from fuelling civil war in Africa. niknakgroup is not advocating a boycott of diamonds; diamonds can be a legitimate source of income for many countries. However, by close co-operation with our suppliers we are able to offer conflict free diamonds which are certified to come from sources which have no relationship with either governments or rebels involved in civil war or guerrilla warfare.
By purchasing diamonds from niknakgroup.com, you are personally helping to flex the consumer muscle which has acheived so much in recent years. Hopefully, with your help and that of our suppliers, we can end the blood trail right here and right now.
Diamonds are a stone of true natural beauty, unparalleled versatility and eternal appeal. In many ways this reflects the great continent of Africa, and with your help maybe we can restore these positive elements to some of the most war-torn regions of the globe. We certify that all of our diamond jewellery comes from conflict-free sources to ensure that you are having a positive impact on this situation every time you trade with us. Thank you for your support.
