Here's a question: Which countries had larger gold and diamond resources and laws that kept wages cheap and political rights for the vast majority nonexistant?

Many people would rather be working long, underpaid hours in a South African mine than live in the war zones the apartheid government funded in neighboring Angola and Mozambique.
Angola's war was funded by the US. The dumbest American foreign policy EVER! American owned Gulf Oil has a refinery, guarded by Cuban troops who are paid by Angola, to keep CIA backed terrorist from blowing it up.
