47 - The Resurgence of Africa's Conflict Diamonds - a podcast by The Red Line

Diamonds have been used to pay militias and rebel groups for decades due to their ease of transportation, global demand, and reliable value. After diamonds fuelled conflict across Africa, the Kimberley Process was created to stop the use of conflict diamonds, but its limitations have left key loopholes open. Exploiting these has allowed this trade to rampage through the African continent once again. How can this process be reformed? And who will pay the price?

On the panel this week.

Brad Brooks Rubin - Global Initiative
Russel Shor - Minerals Journalist
Shamiso Mtisi - Kimberley Process
