Finaly some Help!

In 1999, the Goverment of Sierra Leone was forced once again to make another peace treaty. The RUF was not up for the new peace treaty, they did not want to restore order to the whole country just regaining control of the diamond mines. In results of this, thousand of Sierra Leones were mutalated because there were no large scale early internation intervention in the early stage of war. The United Nations did not intervene untill June 2001 one, Over 10 years after the war had started. The U.N. tried banning diamond trade and stricter rules inforced on weapons but the RUF's leader violated this deal when he flew and sold 8,000 carts of diamonds to two unknown takers. The U.N. did not fully intervene with the whole affair untill Janury 2002 when they sent in 17,000 men to help witht he peace keeping of Sierra Leone. Immediaitly after the U.N. had done this the war has gained International attention
