Show Stoppers  

By Jennifer Heebner                           2011 issue of JCK Magazine

Not only is there the oil production, enough to start a war all by itself, there is also mineral reserves that can be exported from the country and one of the biggest things that makes this country what it is, is the reserves of diamonds - >>>
