In fact Black Diamond is not altogether alone. She has a baby girl from a relationship with Colonel Yankee, a fellow LURD fighter. Her pretty face brightens briefly as she talks about "Small Diamond", her 10-month-old daughter.
"I was at the front until I was eight months pregnant. I left her in Guinea. There was no one to take care of her here. But I will bring her back now that the war is over," she said.
As for her own future, Black Diamond says she is tired of fighting.
"We achieved our target: Taylor has left. I want to go to school. Let me know something."
