<\/div>\n

Hace 25 a\u00f1os arrancaron las negociaciones del Proceso de Kimberley, una iniciativa internacional destinada a frenar el comercio de los llamados diamantes de sangre, vinculados a conflictos como la guerra civil de Sierra Leona. Bajo la presi\u00f3n de las denuncias sobre su papel en estas guerras, la industria diamant\u00edfera emprendi\u00f3 una campa\u00f1a para recuperar su credibilidad, con la promesa de impulsar un comercio m\u00e1s \u00e9tico y convertir los diamantes en una fuente de desarrollo para los pa\u00edses productores. Pero, un cuarto de siglo despu\u00e9s, la pregunta sigue abierta: \u00bfhan contribuido realmente estos diamantes a mejorar la vida de las comunidades de las que se extraen? En Boleto de Vuelta, seguimos la pista a la promesa de una industria m\u00e1s responsable y exploramos qu\u00e9 hay detr\u00e1s del brillo de los diamantes. <\/p>\n

\n

Violaciones, mutilaciones y miles de ni\u00f1os secuestrados y obligados a luchar: la guerra civil en Sierra Leona<\/a>, entre 1991 y 2002, cobr\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 120.000 vidas y dej\u00f3 a miles de civiles mutilados. Tambi\u00e9n puso de manifiesto un comercio sangriento: el de los \u00abdiamantes de sangre\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Hace veinticinco a\u00f1os, se iniciaron las negociaciones del Proceso de Kimberley,<\/a> con el objetivo de crear un sistema internacional y poner fin al comercio de diamantes de sangre. Esta econom\u00eda paralela gener\u00f3, seg\u00fan estimaciones, hasta 125 millones de d\u00f3lares anuales durante el conflicto. Estas piedras se convirtieron en la principal fuente de financiaci\u00f3n y en un s\u00edmbolo de la complicidad de las corporaciones occidentales en esta guerra civil, que acapar\u00f3 titulares en todo el mundo.<\/p>\n

Leer tambi\u00e9n<\/span>Dos d\u00e9cadas despu\u00e9s, Sierra Leona sigue marcada por la guerra civil<\/a><\/p>\n

Esto ha llevado a la industria mundial del diamante, ampliamente criticada, a cambiar de rumbo y recuperar su imagen. Mediante el Proceso de Kimberley, los principales pa\u00edses productores y los grupos internacionales del diamante han establecido est\u00e1ndares de control de origen para evitar que la historia se repita.<\/p>\n

Un cuarto de siglo despu\u00e9s, la industria vende una imagen de cadenas de suministro \u00e9ticas y piedras orientadas al desarrollo que benefician tanto a las grandes corporaciones como a las comunidades locales. Este cambio radical se promueve intensamente en las comunicaciones de las principales compa\u00f1\u00edas diamant\u00edferas del mundo. Pero en la regi\u00f3n de Kono, al este de Sierra Leona<\/a>,<\/a> antiguo epicentro de la guerra civil, \u00bfse han convertido realmente los diamantes en sin\u00f3nimo de desarrollo?.<\/p>\n
