Did Robert Mugabe s security forces seize control of a lucrative diamond field by gunning down hundreds of miners? With shocking evidence now uncovered, Zimbabwe 's diamond trade faces suspension.
"We were told here are the guns, sitting in the truck, do you want to stay? " says Andrew Cranswick, CEO of the mining company who owns the rights to mine diamonds in Marange. After his company was evicted, the Marange fields were opened up to the people and tens of thousands of Zimbabweans came to dig, paying the police a commission. Yet the police didn' t always play fair - "$15 million worth of diamonds were confiscated", says one former miner and soon the police were replaced by Mugabe s own military. "Mugabe needed a way to buy the loyalty of the army" says Ken Roth, "the military were ordered to kill".
In the first week of November, helicopter gunships launched a massacre on the Marange diamond fields. Evidence has been collected of 200 deaths. Those who weren 't killed were raped or crippled. "They told us if we wanted to go home we had to sleep with the men", says one woman, "the soldiers watched and laughed". Next month, the Kimberley process, the international body charged with stopping trade in conflict diamonds, will decide whether Zimbabwe should be suspended. Yet with many Western governments involved in Zimbabwe' s diamond trade, a former delegate of the Kimberley process believes this deadly business may yet be protected.

    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! Vintage diamonds are far better quality than you find today, and if, by some strange chance you do find a high quality stone its more than likely smuggled out for purchase znd untouched by the WDE.

    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.

Then they can put the amount and quality of diamond they choose on the market. Usually a little less than the supply demands, so prices go up.

    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.

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 !

    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
