Blood diamonds
Diamonds are a crystalline form of pure carbon that are the hardest natural substance. They were first mined in India centuries ago but the diamond industry grew in the 19th century when large deposits were found in South Africa. However, "conflict diamonds" mined in African war zones were used to finance violence. In response, the Kimberley Process was established to certify the origin of diamonds and ensure conflict diamonds do not enter legitimate markets, helping end the human costs of the diamond trade.
Bchoi youth gangs (reuploaded)
Youth gangs affect society in several negative ways. Gangs are formed by both male and female adolescents and teenagers in both urban and rural areas. Gang members often identify themselves through visual symbols like tattoos, graffiti, and hand signs that represent their culture. Violence is common, as gangs frequently assault rival gang members in schools and cities, increasing crime rates. To prevent gang formation and its outcomes, such as dropping out of school and criminal activity including theft, robbery, and homicide, communities have implemented educational programs in schools to teach youth about the dangers of gangs.

The document discusses the conflict diamond trade in Sierra Leone and efforts to end it. It describes how the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) used proceeds from conflict diamonds to fuel a brutal 11-year civil war, committing atrocities like amputations and using child soldiers.

Though the war ended in 2002, its devastating human and economic impacts persisted, motivating further international cooperation to promote peace in Sierra Leone.
Blood Diamond Essay
The document discusses blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds or war diamonds, which are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts characterized by violence against civilians. Specifically, it describes how the rebel group UNITA in Angola uses profits from selling rough diamonds to purchase arms, fueling civil war and human rights abuses that have left many Angolans amputated by landmines. Efforts are needed to prohibit the sale of blood diamonds and ensure diamonds come from conflict-free mines in order to address this serious humanitarian issue.
Khadarlis
The Sierra Leone Civil War, also known as the Blood Diamond War, lasted from 1991 to 2002 and resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. The war was started when the Revolutionary United Front (R.U.F.) rebel group seized Sierra Leone's diamond mining areas. In response, the government initiated Operation Genesis to drive out the rebels, but was unsuccessful. The rebels launched brutal attacks on civilians, chopping off limbs. Over a decade of conflict displaced over 2 million people. Khadarlis is a nonprofit working to rebuild villages destroyed during the war by providing housing, water, agriculture, education, and healthcare.
Blood diamond
Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to fund insurgencies and rebel military actions against legitimate governments. Violence, threats, torture, and slavery are used in the mining of these diamonds, which are then smuggled into the international diamond trade. Over 50,000 lives have been lost due to conflict surrounding blood diamonds in West Africa. In response, the Kimberley Process was established in 2003 to certify the origin of diamonds and prevent conflict diamonds from entering mainstream markets.

Blood diamond
Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are mined in war zones and sold to fund militias and rebel groups. They have primarily originated from West Africa, where rebels have used the profits from diamond mining to purchase arms and continue conflicts. Rebels have forced men, women and children into slave labor to mine diamonds under violent conditions. In response, the Kimberley Process was established in 2003 by the UN to certify diamonds as conflict-free and prevent conflict diamonds from entering the mainstream market. While this has helped stabilize some countries and support development, illegal diamonds still find their way to markets, so consumers must ensure the diamonds they buy are certified as conflict-free.

Conflict Diamonds
Diamonds form deep underground and are mined commercially or alluvially before being sorted and polished in places like Antwerp. De Beers monopolized the diamond market in the 20th century and created the illusion of scarcity, raising prices and fueling conflicts in countries with alluvial mines. While groups like the Kimberley Process aim to reduce conflict diamonds, violence continues in places with easy diamond access like Côte d'Ivoire due to loopholes and black market smuggling.
Sierra leone
Ishmael Beah's memoir A Long Way Gone describes his experiences as a child soldier in Sierra Leone's civil war. The war was fueled by the country's diamond trade, as rebel groups like the Revolutionary United Front mined and sold diamonds to fund their violent efforts. By the late 1990s, the RUF resorted to brutal tactics like amputations and mass killings. While a peace deal was reached in 2002, Sierra Leone remains plagued by the legacy of conflict and corruption and ranks as one of the poorest nations in the world.

Proposed solutions include requesting assistance from international organizations like the UN and ECOWAS to restore stability, improve social services, and support economic recovery.
The democratic republic of congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo was originally formed in 1885 and has gone through several name changes, and it is the largest country in Sub-Saharan Africa covering over 905,600 square miles. French is the official language, but there are also four other nationally recognized indigenous languages as well as over 200 other non-recognized languages. The DRC has a troubled history following its civil war in 1998 and currently has no laws protecting women's rights or addressing issues like domestic violence.
Angola
Angola is a country in southwestern Africa with a population of over 10 million people and a total area of 481,351 square miles. It has a very low population density of 0 to 5 people per square mile. Portuguese is the primary language spoken. Angola struggles with significant healthcare issues, having only 8 doctors per 100,000 people and a life expectancy of just 47 years old along with an infant mortality rate of 125. Potential solutions proposed include training Angolans in healthcare in America to bring back skills and resources, as well as neighboring countries providing temporary medical care and assistance. However, the document states that fully solving the major lack of healthcare is likely impossible without dire consequences.
Evan feuerman's zimbabwe presentation
Zimbabwe faces problems with its healthcare system, land conflicts, and financial troubles. To address its health issues, the author proposes selling oil and gold to build medical schools or sending doctors abroad for training. The final solution is to sell oil and gold to fund the construction of medical schools and improve healthcare.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia has a population of 65 million people and literacy rates are very low, especially for females. The country has climate zones ranging from grasslands to deserts and relies on exports like coffee, livestock, and gold. However, there is a huge lack of education in Ethiopia, with only 36% of people being literate. Fewer than 30% of males and 18% of females can read. Many children must choose between farming and school. To address this, the document proposes building more schools so literacy rates increase by ensuring children can attend classes. The final plan involves trading Ethiopian doctors and a medical school to Sudan for money to buy wood to construct new schools.
Drc power point
The document discusses the Democratic Republic of Congo, including its geography, languages, history of independence and conflicts, and one of its major problems being a shortage of doctors. It proposes several potential solutions to increase the number of doctors in DRC and discusses their positives and negatives. The proposed solution is for DRC to negotiate a trade with neighboring Cameroon, trading land and a gold mine for doctors and other resources to help address the lack of healthcare.
Liberia
The most common language spoken in Liberia is English. The country was originally settled by freed black slaves from America and got its start economically from rubber production. Major problems include unsafe water conditions that often cause sickness and a lack of doctors, with only 3 per 100,000 people. Proposed solutions involve putting up warning signs about the water and paying doctors more to increase that profession within Liberia. The author's final plan is to ask neighboring countries for help in exchange for Liberia's resources or through forming alliances.
Sudan
Sudan and South Sudan have a population of over 36 million people across nearly 1 million square miles. The countries face serious medical issues, with a low life expectancy, high infant mortality, and only 9 doctors per 100,000 people. Education is also a problem, with a literacy rate of just 61.1%. Possible solutions include sending Sudanese to medical school in the US to become doctors and return, making a deal with Ethiopia to trade oil for Ethiopian schools and doctors for Sudan and South Sudan, or doing nothing. The best option is a combination of the first two solutions - sending people abroad to study and making a deal with Ethiopia to help address both countries' needs.
Mali
This document provides information about Mali and discusses improving the country's literacy rate. It notes that Mali has a literacy rate of only 46% and lacks sufficient schools and teachers. To address this, the document proposes building more schools, hiring more teachers, and establishing school bus systems. It suggests other countries could help by donating money, supplies, and teachers to support expanding education in Mali.
Cameroon project
Cameroon was originally settled over 3,000 years ago during the Bantu Migrations. It became a German colony in 1884 and then a French colony in 1914. Cameroon gained independence from France in 1960 and has had the same president since 1982. A key problem is that Cameroon lacks sufficient cropland to grow its own food. The document proposes and analyzes several potential solutions to this problem, including trading salt and doctors from Cameroon to the Democratic Republic of Congo for cropland, cutting down part of Cameroon's rainforest to make new cropland, or trading teachers for food. The proposed final solution is for Cameroon to trade its salt and doctors to the D
Ghana final 1
This document discusses illegal gold mining in Ghana. It provides links to articles about Chinese miners flocking to Ghana for gold boom, illegal Chinese gold miners plaguing Ghana with police facilitation, solutions and ways to stop illegal gold mining in Ghana, and background on gold mining in Ghana.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
