adminMarange diamonds get KP greenlight
From Brezhnev Malaba in KINSHASA, DRC
The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme plenary session yesterday gave Zimbabwe the greenlight to export Marange diamonds without further hindrance, bringing to an end a long-running confrontation with Western nations over the gemstones.
Zimbabwe stands to earn more than US$3 billion per year from the three Marange mines.
The major breakthrough was described by an elated Mines and Mining Development Minister Obert Mpofu as “a great day for Africa and an historic moment for Zimbabwe”.
Zimbabwe’s decisive victory in the struggle against Western economic hegemony was the product of African solidarity.
Members of the African Diamond Producers’ Association rallied behind Zimbabwe in the high-stakes negotiations which reached a climax yesterday morning.
