Oh no.. I have a report due in a couple days on how diamonds have negatively affected the Angolan people. I need to give some general info about diamonds and their history, how they have affected the Angolan economy and people, and how they have negatively impacted Angola. And, I've totally forgotten it- until now! I've been searching google like no tomorrow, but to no avail. I know I haven't been on this board for awhile, but I've nowhere else to turn! Do any of you know any info of the subject(s), or any links to websites that would give me some good information?
Thanks a heap...
