$14 million diamond found in Angola - Will the People Get Any Money?

Massive $14 million, 404-carat diamond found in Angola - NY Daily News 

"Angola’s national diamond company, Endiama" is a partial shareholder.

An Australian company seems to be the primary shareholder in the conglomerate mining there.

The poverty in Africa and multi-national foreign companies ripping huge diamonds out of the land is upsetting. Deeply troubling. The values of wealth creation and fairness in indigenous resources needs to be re-thought.

I have not researched Endiama yet, but I pray they return some wealth to the people. The people deserve most of it in my opinion. It is their country, regardless of 'who owns the mineral rights.'
