Step-by-step explanation:

African Countries suffer from poor economy because of the diamond trade.

"Blood Diamonds," as it was called, caused civil and social riots between the big company who hired the miners and the miners themselves.

the name, "blood diamonds," illustrated all the lives lost in the mining process using dynamite and unstable and physically unsupported mines that caused the death of many workers.

the workers were paid lower amounts of $ despite the dangers of the trade.
