Rezaeiejan Tweede lezer: Dr. L.M. Mügge 1 Twee Nederlandse voetballers, Ryan Donk en Boy Waterman, vieren hun overwinning in de EK-finale met de Surinaamse vlag. Voorwoord Toen ik nog een kleine jongen was en een onbezorgd bestaan leefde, stond ik nog niet zo stil bij wat de consequenties van mijn acties zijn. Ik was vooral aan het dromen. Ik had altijd mijn ouders nog waar ik op terug kon vallen. Zij verzorgden mij zoals het goede ouders betaamt: met heel veel liefde, geduld en toewijding. Zij zorgden ervoor dat ik uit de wind bleef wanneer het soms lastig werd en zij losten al mijn problemen op. Het was een eenvoudig en mooi bestaan. Ook nu nog toon ik mij in veel opzichten nog die onbezorgde, kleine jongen. Eerst doen, dan pas nadenken. Zo heb ik vrijwel mijn hele studieloopbaan doorgebracht. Bij het schrijven van essays was ik gewend om pas als allerlaatst een onderzoeksvraag op te stellen. Bij essays is dat nog redelijk te doen. Vaak wordt er op voorhand al een richting aangegeven en de omvang van die opdrachten was vaak overzichtelijk genoeg om niet in de tekst te verdwalen. Bij het schrijven van mijn scriptie was ik echter voor het eerst genoodzaakt om een duidelijk plan op te stellen en van te voren een specifieke vraag te formuleren.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Y•Z The philosophers who have examined the founda- tions of society have all felt the need to go back to the state of nature, but none of them has succeeded. —Jean-Jacques Rousseau Discourse on Inequality1 When I returned to Suriname in November 2011, I learned of a scandal that was causing turmoil among the Trio. It was a case of adultery, in which one man, Luuk, had been carrying on an affair with the wife of another man, Sam.2 One day Sam caught them in the act. He reacted furiously. He waited for an opportunity, then, together with some of his kinsmen, attacked Luuk and beat him up. Soon, rumours circulated that Luuk wanted to demand a cash payment as compensation for the inju- ries he had received. Sam’s anger rose again. He went, again with some kinsmen, to Luuk’s house at night, armed with guns and machetes. He seemed intent on killing him. Some men intervened, but it was clear that the matter would have to be settled by independent parties. This was complicated by the fact that Sam was the brother of Silvijn, a village leader, and Luuk was married to the daughter of Douwe, the other village leader. The dispute risked turning into a factional crisis that could tear the whole village apart. Gossip spread like wildfi re, and thanks to mobile telephone and shortwave radio, this confl ict was soon the talk of all the Trio villages and those living in the city of Paramaribo. The church elders held concerned discussions with their mentors in the city.

  • Suriname on Its Knees
    CHAPTER VI Suriname on its knees The most important challenge for Suriname in the next decade is to achieve eco- nomic independence. We in Suriname must be able to take decisions on our own. We must be able to reap the benefi ts of our own resources and the products of our own efforts according to our own priorities. Only then will we be able to provide solutions to the problems which our people meet daily. (Bouterse cited in Uwechue 1986.) As outlined in the previous three chapters, the events of December 1982 plunged Suriname into severe socio-economic diffi culties. These were caused, on the one hand, by the termination of Dutch aid and, on the other hand, by the failure to establish close relations with regional powers or with Third World nations as a collective to compensate, at least partly, for this fi nancial shortfall. Consequently, to secure the regime’s survival, Bouterse realized that he had no choice but to improve Suriname’s relations with the Netherlands, so as to be able to negotiate the terms for reinstating Dutch aid. In this, Paramaribo was forced to acknowledge The Hague’s primary stipu- lation for reopening the fl ow of fi nancial assistance: the reintroduction of democracy. Yet the military’s gradual shift towards democratic rule clashed with the Dutch demand that aid be provided only after the offi cers’ complete withdrawal from politics. Within the regime this setback led to frustration. During the transition period of 1984-1987 The Hague was repeatedly attacked for its uncompromising position.

    K. Bilby Divided loyalties: local politics and the play of states among the Aluku In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 63 (1989), no: 3/4, Leiden, 143-173 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 01:32:02PM via free access KENNETH M. BILBY DIVIDED LOYALTIES: LOCAL POLITICS AND THE PLAY OF STATES AMONG THE ALUKU* The scène is the northeastern coast of South America; the time, November 1986.1 Civil war has broken out in eastern Suriname, and a flood of refugees streams into the French Guianese border town of Saint-Laurent, across the Maroni River from the Surinamese outpost Albina. Most of the refugees are Ndjuka Maroons whose villages have been attacked by Surinamese government forces.2 Those who first greet them are Aluku Maroons, otherwise known as the Boni. It is the Aluku who mediate between the Ndjukas and local representatives of the French government. Aluku boatmen help organize the transportation of refugees across the river to safety, while Aluku kapiten, local headmen appointed by the French government to represent the larger Maroon community in Saint-Laurent, are consulted by the French sub-prefect and the mayor of the town for advice on the handling of the crisis. For all concerned, the mass exodus of Ndjukas is eerily reminiscent of the flight of the ancestors of the Aluku into French territory some two centuries earlier, when forced out of their haunts in the Cottica River region of Suriname by Dutch colonial troops. Like the other five tribes of Guiana Maroons - the Ndjuka, Paramaka, Saramaka, Matawai, and Kwinti - the Aluku are descended from African slaves who centuries ago escaped from Surinamese plantations and fled into the unsettled forests of the interior, where they banded together to *Editors' note: The bicentennial of the French Revolution in 1989 has been an occasion to bring the Aluku or Boni Maroons and their 18th-century liberation struggles in the limelight.

How did the young Republic deal with its dependency on the Netherlands for development aid after 1975?

De Vooruitstrevende Hervormings Partij (VHP), onder leiding van Chandrikapersad (Chan) Santokhi, boekte een grote overwinning en behaalde 20 van de 51 zetels. Ook de Algemene Bevrijdings- en Ontwikkelings Partij (ABOP) van Ronnie Brunswijk behaalde winst. De verkiezingen van 2020 verliepen in tegenstelling tot voorgaande verkiezingen minder goed georganiseerd. Hoewel reeds op 29 mei 99,4% van de stemmen was geteld, maakte het Centraal Hoofdstembureau pas op 16 juni de definitieve uitslag bekend.

  • Suriname Na De Binnenlandse Oorlog (1986-1992) Gratis Epub
    SURINAME NA DE BINNENLANDSE OORLOG (1986-1992) GRATIS Auteur: E. de Vries Aantal pagina's: 200 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: 2005-05-28 Uitgever: Stichting Lm Publishers EAN: 9789068324990 Taal: nl Link: Download hier Suriname na de binnenlandse oorlog (1986-1992) - Ellen de Vries - 9789068324990 Wie zat er achter deze verdwijntruc? De Bouterse-clan? Ex junglecommandoleider Ronnie Brunswijk? De entourage van de onlangs herkozen president Ronald Venetiaan? Waarover gaat het? Zoals de titel aangeeft, handelt deze publicatie over de période na de Binnenlandse Oorlog, uitgevochten van en tussen het Nationaal Leger onder leiding van Desi Bouterse en het Jungle Commando JC van Ronnie Brunswijk, dat in die periode een groot deel van Oost-Suriname onder controle had. Een paar honderd burgers en strijders kwamen om, met als absoluut dieptepunt de massaslachting in het Marrondorpje Moiwana, het Surinaamse My Laï, waardoor de uittocht van binnenlandbewoners naar Frans Guyana op gang kwam. Volgens De Vries zijn de desastreuze gevolgen van deze oorlog tot op vandaag merkbaar. In dit boek brengt de auteur de naweeën van de Binnenlandse Oorlog via twaalf hoofdstukjes in kaart waarin zij vooral nadruk legt op woningbouw, onderwijs gezondheidszorg en criminaliteit. Zij sprokkelde het grootste deel van haar basismateriaal bij elkaar tijdens gesprekken in , en met vluchtelingen, JC-leden, ex -militairen, overheidsdienaren, politici, politiewoordvoerders, onderzoekers en hulpverleners. Vaak doet zij een beroep op de studies van de Surinaamse antropologe Henna Guicherit die in Oost-Suriname en in Frans Guyana onderzoek deed naar de vaak erbarmelijke levensomstandigheden van de binnenlandbewoners. De resultaten van haar onderzoek liegen er niet om: kinderarbeid, jeugdprostitutie, tienerzwangerschappen, drugs- en alcoholovertredingen en andere zware wetsovertredingen aan de lopende band.
