Zimbabwe's Blood Diamond Killing Fields

[@grahamt5924]

If Zimbabwe needs 200 milion a year to feed its people and the mine is earning 200 milion a month, why can't they afford to buy the food they need.

The world Dimond exchange controls world markets, the number of stones released for purchase each year, the color of the stones released, they even control the quality of the stones avail for purchase...the world market hasn't seen diamonds better than j grade released since before the 1900's began!

The documentary is a true reflection, a glimpse of what happened in our province Manicaland, some of the atrocities were never documented, thumbs up to the author. I was fortunate to leave Chiadzwa Diamond fields just in time (2 days before the massacre). I thank God for the revelation to leave before the situation worsened. We know about the mass graves, a dog called " Bruno" that used to mull maGweja (diamond panners), a Senior Police Commissioner from Mutare nicknamed "Dispol Gore" who used to order killings in the fields. We could echo Gweja nyumwawo from the surrounding mountains warning others to stay away from the Diamond fields, signaling panners have been killed on that particular day in the fields so don't go near, it's dangerous. The outgoing Mines Minister O. Mpofu must be dragged to courts to give an account of the mass shootings. Most of the people killed were from far away places such as Byo, Shurugwi and Mt. Darwin as these panners did not have adequate transport money, walking long distances back home was impossible.

I'm Australian. I am not at all surprised by our involvement. It's merely part of our long and sordid history. It is our pattern. Our government and companies are heavily involved in stealing and exploitation in numerous countries sadly. What's worse? Most Australians don't even realise, and even worse, some people's reactions upon learning it is rather lacking in any kind of empathy or horror. It makes me sick what my government and countrfolk are doing, and the fact that I benefit from it by using government services, infrastructure etc. My family has even been involved in defending these actions I'm afraid. In saying that, thankfully one uncle had enough and quit after he was forced to do too many things that appalled him. Ever since he's had serious mental illness partly from what he saw, and his guilt. I'm disabled, but if anyone knows of a way I can volunteer to help in some way please let me know.

You don't seem to realize that white guilt can be a weapon and you've already gone ahead and used it against yourself. Bad things in other parts of the world have been done and to a lesser extent are still being done today by some of our governments which are wrong and should be acknowledged and fixed. But you can't say it's "our" pattern because you as an individual are not responsible for what they've done. It's like when other white people say "we did that" to another ethnicity or "we did this" to another group when in actuality it was other people of the same skin colour as us who did these things and most of whom are long dead I'd like to point out. For example, should I be blamed for things like the holocaust, slavery, or apartheid simply because I'm white? Why would you let the corrupt actions of other individual countrymen of yours dictate the level of patriotism you have towards your country? Stop grouping us all together.

[@metallica1fan1]

How's that Mugabe regime working out? But hey, just as long as the whiteys are gone, amirite? I guess Rhodesia was pretty boring being all safe and prosperous.

[@rbachawnghlut2812]

I call myself luckiest having no interest in any so called precious. Gold, diamond nor etc. But money...haha.. can't get enough.

Kimberley Process is a joke if they don´t consider human lifes be a priority on their agenda

Hiding that Man’s face didn’t work at all!!

[@thateffinguy2422]

They didnt catch anybody from the documentary. At least not in the video. What are you talking about

[@yetti4817]

200 million a month.I will never buy diamonds again.

[@Inyosi888]

I hate the human rights atrocities by the corrupt Zimbabwe's government , but I strongly disagree with Brittain company claiming the resources of another nation as though it's theirs. how can someone go into your house and claim your possessions as his. It's disgusting.

[@eisbeinGermany]

its in the whole of Africa like that

[@mongikazip]

Zimbabweans and criminality goes hand in hand. They've moved on to doing these atrocities in South Africa with illegal mining and terrorizing communities in South Africa

[@eisbeinGermany]

it is true, but the problem still stays is------ the owners/shareholders of most of these mines are rich people living in US an Europe, thye do not care under which circumstances the workers go through to mine the minerals, yes under Ian Smith most lived better. but there are always two sides to a story, once black rule took over poverty took over because the freedom fighters say its now their right to live in wealth because they fought for the freedom, and the people who vote for them now live in poverty,in South Africa it is the same, the so-called freedom fightrs of the ANC say the same, before 94 most lived better, most had a work, now poverty is so high in SA

[@jamalasr7096]

This is horrible, these people deserve better from their government.

[@metallica1fan1]

And somehow Rhodesia was the problem? What a strange turn of events.

[@dmimz8593]

All this chaos over shiny rocks, diamonds mean nothing to me.

[@spitfire451]

It's great that the people can finally work in Zimbabwe to provide for themselves and families..... As long as corruption is stamped out........... FAT CHANCE.......

[@northernzayne]

Unfortunately we still have corruption. Infact its becoming worse.

[@eisbeinGermany]

now in 2023 its even worse, we all thought that when Mugabe was kicked out it would get better,to be honest, i think its even worse now, same as in South Africa, all countries had an =anti apartheid campaign against South Africa,saying the poor oppressed black people, then came 1994 and black people took over the country, all shouted FREEDOM, and look now what is going on in the country, highest unemployment rate ever, so much poverty,daily rapes killings, farm murders, and what did the rest of the world do ?????? now they call it a third-world country =in only 25 years the country is bankrupt, whereas before 1994 it was a first world country

[@menzidube]

This is another reminder of why Africa is constantly under siege and has no peace

[@eisbeinGermany]

but its only because rich Americans and Europeans share holders and owners of these mines exploit the workers

[@rexnhongo346]

The diamonds from Kimberley are in fact blood diamonds because the African is being killed all the time starting from the day the diamonds were right through the 1976 Soweto killings , Marikana and all

[@stanelystanely8781]

[@daspedal2730]

im asking myself many time´s if this all EVER changes?

[@hoondaily270]

A bottle of water for a diamond is a accurate value of diamonds

[@stevencorbin9880]

Wow it seemed good in the begining when the people were able to go mine for diamonds for themselves. To bad that changed. Those diamonds should have helped all Zimbob people but it doesnt seem like that is the case.

[@eisbeinGermany]

it was only good while the white people were in control of the country, when black majority rule took over the country became bankrupt, i can see u dont live in Rhodesia, its same in South Africa, before 1994 it was safe living their, as soon as black people took over the country now is an unsafe place to visit or stay in

[@brand3820]

They need manufacturing plants there...These people are very hard workers, and would do great jobs for any legit company!!

it was better off under Ian Smith. Blacks certainly were better off

[@mabrenz_n5391]

You hit the spot there

[@TheShamwari]

In the fifties I was at Plumtree school Rhodesia with Andrew Cranswick's father, he like me would now be eighty eight years old. Phlilip was a cigarete user ( TomTom brand were a peny for ten ) Philip and a couple of his friends used to walk the 100 yards from the school into the village at moring brake/10,30 am Once in the village they 'd nip into what was a one room shop for a quick cig. I guess Andrew knows that his grandfater was an Anglican priest - he actually conducted the mariage service for my Mum and Dad in about 1928. I left Byo in about in about 2000 as the medical supplies for my wife, who had myeloma were slowly but surely running out. Fortunately our parents had left the UK as teachers after WW !

[@moffatsabango1238]

blood diamonds are spine chilling, horrific, to see, and brings sad memories of sierra leonne., were many people were killed by the rebels.

[@motherofangels1710]

James 5:1-6 ESV Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You Have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.

[@eisbeinGermany]

and to think its Europe's fault, thy thought by supporting the anti=apartheid movement it will bring freedom to black people, and it did not,it only brought poverty

[@mcdaniels4820]

Why is the British company complaining. Go find diamonds in your own country. Let Zimbabwe and its diamonds alone.

[@spyderwarteam8335]

well how about the mining companies especially from the other countries. why don't you expose them too. such a bias video

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Propoganda to get support for military action to enforce economical policy of other countries....the brits\south africans want the diamonds to go to white people

[@shanetonkin2850]

You guys are retards. ‘The brits’ couldn’t care less about fucking Zimbabwean diamonds, but since you mentioned the British, perhaps you should look up how much aid money Britain donates to Zimbabwe every year - in 2018 it was nearly £120 million, and they have been doing this every year for decades. As for the first idiots comment about “exposing” the international mining companies, clearly you don’t really understand how this works. International mining companies pay enormous amounts of money for the right to mine there, then they pay a royalty on every piece of stone the mine, which the Zimbabwean government then uses to pay for things like schools and healthcare, allowing all of the people of Zimbabwe to benefit from their mineral wealth, rather than just the handful lucky enough to live right next to the mines.

[@elizabethjackson2651]

The white south Africans think it belongs to them, that why they have it ALL

[@elizabethjackson2651]

Shane, why don't you look up the 20,000 tons of gold, blood diamonds, silver, 87% of land, the genocide of 90% of the population, destruction of the countryside , the emptying of Zimbabwe treasures, collecting all their tax money from the country when the British took over the government, then we can talk facts. The British were extremely poor plagued peasants using the bathroom by digging holes in corner of their own huts or caves before invading Africa, USA and Australia...

[@elizabethjackson2651]

What the British government give the south Africa every year for their empire is .0001% of the wealth taken from AFRICA (wealthiest country in the world) Africa feeds the world for FREE!!!

I died when he said we gonna walk in the bush for 2 and a half hours. Then they ended up walking 6 HOURS. 😳 sheeeeesh I get out of breath by walking upstairs to the bathroom. God bless them

@11 11 ok bet. Lol

[@diehard2705]

This wouldn’t be as big of a problem if Ian Smith was still PM.

[@eisbeinGermany]

in a way yes, but even under his rule only the white people benefited from the mining of minerals, no black person owned anything
