Abstract
The article explores Africa's illicit diamond trade, contrasting the legal gem industry with smuggling networks that exploit porous borders and impoverished miners. Topics include sophisticated smuggling techniques like body concealment, the laundering of conflict diamonds through falsified documentation; and how criminal syndicates profit from undervaluing stones while evading international regulations.
