Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is a critical aspect when speaking of the subject of diamonds in Africa, and basically what happened was that in following eight years of civil conflict, there were negotiations between the government of Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary United Front, and this resulting in leading to the signing of the Lome Peace Agreement, under which the parties that were involved agreed to the cessation of all hostilities.
