"Blood Diamond"!

Qin Feng tried hard to recall this movie.

The reason why Qin Feng remembers this movie is not because of Little Plum.

Of course, because DiCaprio's movie has attracted much attention, this is inevitable.

Since "Titanic", Leonardo DiCaprio has attracted much attention in every movie he shoots with his "ball-grass" looks. He is exactly like Gang Leader Qiao who comes with his own sound system and is invincible.

figure.

However, Qin Feng paid attention to this drama because of Jennifer Connelly, who made her debut with "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and is a super beauty with divine looks.

Qin Feng vaguely recalled the plot of "Blood Diamond".

The plot is based on the outbreak of this year's Sierra Leone.

Danny Archer, a former mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy, a fisherman.

Solomon was originally just an ordinary fisherman, but he was born into troubled times and was forcibly taken away from his family by the rebels to mine diamonds. During the mining process, Solomon discovered a rare pink diamond and took the risk to hide it. He knew that if the matter was revealed,

He was bound to die. But in order to change the fate of his wife and daughters as refugees, he decided to take risks. The rebel guards discovered Solomon's hidden diamonds and used a gun to force Solomon to hand over the diamonds. Just when Solomon was about to hand over the diamonds,

Government troops launched an attack on the diamond mine. The guard was shot and fell to the ground. Solomon picked up a machete, dug a small hole not far away, and buried the diamond in the hole. As soon as the diamond was buried, he was captured by the government troops.

Danny makes a living by dealing in diamonds and arms, and is a war monger through and through. When he was imprisoned for smuggling and learned about Solomon's hiding of diamonds, he realized that this might be the only time in his life that he could escape forever.

Africa has a chance to escape this vicious cycle of violence and corruption forever. Danny bailed himself and Solomon out of prison through friends, but Liberty City was captured by the rebels. After escaping from death, they began to search for diamonds, but this did not work.

It's not easy. He can only rely on the American reporter Maddie Bowen, whom he only met once.

Maddie is an idealist. She came to Sierra Leone to uncover the shady story of the diamond trade and find the warlords who profited from diamonds without caring about human life. She originally wanted to use Danny as a clue to find the truth, but she didn't know that Danny needed her more at this time.

The whole story is the story of the arms dealer played by DiCaprio finally awakening from it and sublimating his humanity.

The movie is indeed good. But at the moment, Qin Feng is recalling some of the things described in the movie.

The movie itself is adapted from real events with some artistic processing.

Many of the introductions about Sierra Leone are very true.

Therefore, what Qin Feng wants to recall is some information about Sierra Leone.

As for searching on Google, I'm really sorry. In today's Internet era, everything has just begun, and a lot of information is not comprehensive and very scarce.

So, it’s really hard to Google to search about the civil war in Sierra Leone that just broke out this year.

Foday Sankoh, Qin Feng remembered such a warlord leader in the movie.

What is famous about him is that he originally accepted the conditions of US President Clinton, decided to lay down his arms, and became the leader and first president of Sierra Leone. After that, Sierra Leone avoided civil war and adopted a republican system, and everyone determined their political status through elections.

However, this guy was wavering and was afraid of being ignored. When the United Nations sent peacekeeping troops to maintain the election in Sierra Leone, he suddenly kidnapped the peacekeeping troops.

Yes! The first time a United Nations peacekeeping force was kidnapped and humiliated was in Sierra Leone. After that, it directly led to the outbreak of civil war.

As for why the United Nations did not take action, judging from the movie, it was because several old rogue countries were plotting against each other, each with their own agenda.

This also led to the full-scale civil war in Sierra Leone, which eventually evolved into a major civil strife affecting several African countries. In a few years, more than 5.3 million people died.

So, it’s the same old saying.

Under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The five old rogue countries are not good birds.

They are all evil in their own way, there is no such thing as justice and evil. It just depends on which side of your comment you take.

This guy probably needs a weapon.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

But then, what left Qin Feng helpless was that Sierra Leone could not afford so many arms.

According to the description in the movie, Sierra Leone is famous and rich because of its rich diamond mines.

But the diamond mines sell only US$200 million a year.

This batch of arms is worth 1 billion US dollars.

How to eat in Sierra Leone.

Of course, this is only official data. In fact, it may be much higher.

Otherwise, only 200 million US dollars would not be enough for those warlords to fight a civil war for several years.

Although, in a country like Sierra Leone, labor is not valuable and there is no pension.

However, you have to spend money to buy weapons. You always have to spend money to eat.

Therefore, there may be more behind this. But it is far from enough for Foday Sankoh to swallow his own batch of arms alone.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

It is true that Sierra Leone cannot eat it alone, but neighboring countries can.

For example, the civil war in Congo killed millions of people. There is also the civil war in South Sudan and so on.

The demand for arms in these countries is obviously huge.

However, Qin Feng frowned.

Selling arms in this way may lead to even greater chaos in Africa.

I am afraid that this continent will be difficult to calm down in the future.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple. It is all caused by Westerners.

It’s not that Westerners enslave Africans, but that after the end of the Cold War, with the improvement of the financial system built by the United States to compete for global hegemony, Western countries no longer need to use primitive and crude slave rule methods to plunder wealth from backward countries.

.

This method is the most primitive and the most tiring. It also involves constant resistance.

Therefore, the United States and other Western countries have adopted a method of forcibly promoting democracy. In a primitive society that has been ignorant and backward for thousands of years and is still stuck in the tribal system, it would be a disaster to forcibly transcend the feudal dynasty and centralized system and directly enter a capitalist democratic society.

.

In particular, Western countries are very good at allowing races with a small population to become rulers. But before they do, they let races with a large population oppress those with a small population.

When ethnic groups with small populations come to power and Westerners leave, one can imagine what these countries will become.

In the end, the civil strife will continue. Naturally, this is in the interests of Westerners.

This is the reason why Africa has been experiencing constant civil strife.
