On the other hand, "diamonds" and "central African state suffering a civil war" doesn't exactly smell like legitimate business to me.
In fact, any deal involving Goma, that fucking hellhole, would be a big red flag. Hutu genocidaires, Africa's answer to the Einsatzgruppen, used to run that town, before the Rwandan military and Laurent Nkunda (who is almost as bad) ran them out. The FDLR still stomp around the countryside there, raping and slaughtering villagers and kidnapping foreign workers, while General Ntaganda's men seem to have a free run of the countryside immediately outside of Goma and are using the town itself oversee a huge mineral smuggling operation.
These are not the kind of people you want to be near or involved with, in any capacity.
If you don't do research before taking the job, you probably deserve to get burned a little.
