In the short preview I wrote for the paper on Tuesday, I said that these diamonds could help fund the reconstruction of the failing state. I said the diamonds earn about $2.5 million per week. In fact the earnings are close to $1.2 billion a year (according to the researcher of the documentary), which works out to $23 076 923.1 a week! So sorry about that rather large mistake.
