Cursed diamond‐Liberia

 
0 / 1≫ 

西アフリカにあるこの小国は、1989年から2003年まで、ダイヤモンドと民族対立感情を元に残虐行為の限りを尽くす激しい内戦が続いてきた。

全人口330万人のこの国で、難民30万人、死者15万人、数え切れない子供兵、孤児、鉱山労働者たち。

目の前で両親を殺された子供、レイプされ続けた女性、食人を強制された住民。
泥から生まれる小さな石に、一体どれだけの人々が、苦しめられてきたのか。


リベリア−その意「自由の国」 罪なき人々の血を浴び、銃声と叫び声に包まれた呪われし小石は、幾つかの工程を経て輝くダイヤモンドとなり、永遠の愛を誓い合う世界の恋人たちの指に収まる。

In this small country of west Africa, there have been fierce fighting caused by diamonds and tribal oppositions between 1989 to 2003.

Total population 3.3 millions, including 300 thousands refugees and 150 thousands dead, numerous child soldiers, orphans, miners.

Children whose parents were killed in front of them. Women who were raped continuously. People who were forced to eat human flesh.
We can't imagine how many people have suffured from tiny stones in the mud.

Liberia-it means liberty nation. Cursed tiny stones gotten bloods and scream of innocent civilians become luminous sparkle diamonds, finally reach the fingers of lovers all over the world.
