Same in Angola.

Thats exactly it. When you have a resource (or Commidity?) Like Diamonds that carry such value, self interests reign over human rights. It was the same people doing the killings, keeping the cycle of habitual rape among the femaile popluation and young boys forced into the militias, but different people were manipulating them with promises of wealth
