OF ZIMBABWE: AN OVERVIEW
October, 2011
“We have begun to see how this mineral wealth can become a curse – as it so often has been
in Africa, as people are killed and communities destroyed in the fight for diamonds that will
forever be marked with the blood of the innocent.” - Rowan Williams, October 2011, Harare.
