The Surinamese Military Dictatorship of Dési Bouterse and the Civil War

Desi Bouterse is a prominent political figure in the history of Suriname, and his time in power has been marked by significant political turmoil and human rights abuses. Here's an overview of the key events and periods associated with Desi Bouterse's rule in Suriname:
On February 25, 1980, Bouterse, then a sergeant in the Surinamese Armed Forces, led a military coup against the government of Henck Arron, who had been the Prime Minister of Suriname since its independence from the Netherlands in 1975. Bouterse and his group of military officers took control of the government, citing corruption and mismanagement as reasons for the coup. The coup marked the beginning of a period of military rule in Suriname.
After the coup, Bouterse assumed the position of de facto leader of Suriname and effectively controlled the government. His rule was characterized by authoritarianism and a lack of respect for human rights, with political opponents and activists often subjected to intimidation and violence.
One of the most infamous events during Bouterse's rule occurred on December 8, 1982, when 15 prominent opponents of the regime, including lawyers, journalists, and military officers, were arrested and subsequently executed without trial. These murders, known as the "December Murders," were widely condemned both domestically and internationally and became a symbol of the repressive nature of Bouterse's regime. Bouterse has been accused of direct involvement in these killings, though he has denied any responsibility.
The Surinamese Interior War, which began in 1986 and lasted until 1992, was a conflict primarily between Bouterse's government and rebel groups in the interior of the country. The main rebel group, known as the Jungle Commando, was led by Ronnie Brunswijk. The conflict had various complex factors, including ethnic tensions, economic disparities, and grievances among the Maroon population in the interior. The war resulted in significant casualties and displacement of people, particularly in the Maroon communities. Bouterse's government was accused of committing human rights abuses during the conflict, including the killing and displacement of civilians.
Desi Bouterse's rule in Suriname was marked by political instability, economic struggles, and a disregard for democratic norms and human rights. He served multiple terms as both a military and civilian leader over the years, and his time in power remained controversial and divisive. In the years following the end of the Interior War, Suriname has made efforts to transition to a more democratic and stable government.

I don't blame you, you're an outsider, you literally don't know what you are talking about. As a Surinamer, I know the truth about my country and my history. All the 15 people who they say we're murdered were all traitors, but you don't know that because you literally know nothing. But make your coins. I ain't mad at you. Just know Bouterse is a hero in Suriname, never a dictator. If you want to see a dictator in Suriname, look at the current president.

    An amazing story. My wife was the Netherlands Ambassador's secretary during the initial coup. Bouterse showed up on the embassy's doorstep and she was sent to meet him, since she was not a diplomat, but staff. He introduced himself and then asked what he should do next! She told him that they had no communications with The Hague since the coup leaders had cut off the embassy's Telex lines, etc. He told her that he would be right back and the Telex connections were restored in about 45 minutes. He showed up again and then met the military attache'.

Rambocus was in the church sealing waiting to shoot several people !! Bouterse did to coup because the then government was hurting the people in suriname. Every day houses and building did burned .. nobody talks about THAT . People was fighting because of RACE !!! That's why he did the coup and I'm glad he did !!! He has amnesty and you can't take amnesty back once given...people do tell the REAL STORY !!!!!😮even the now government in 2024 tries everything to do to make Bouterse get to jail. They don't tell that from 2020 July EVERY DAY ARE DYING because basic medication is not available!! People get Pais salary $ 200-300 a month and rent a house is $400-500 amonth. Kids not going to school because they hunry and they get 1 meal in 3 days. When Bouterse was president NOBODY could say I can't eat or can't go to school. Who is now a dictator? If you demonstrate for your rights you go to jail!!! How come nobody is talking about that ??

    Ronnie Brunswijk, not Ronnie van Brunswijk. I should know as I have met him several times and taught quite some of his 40+ children. In Eastern Suriname, especially Moengo with its bauxite mines, lived many Javanese Surinamese. They were more or less forced to side with the Surinamese National Army, because they became the victims of the Jungle Commando. This resulted in resentment between the Javanese and the Aucanese (the maroons Brunswijk belonged too - eg the Saramaccans are quite different). I have spoken with people from both ethnic groups (plus other, much smaller ones in the town). It's remarkable that despite the tension there never were riot or other violent outbursts. At my school, the MULO Hubertus Waaldijk, Aucanese and Javanese overall (always have) cooperate(d) fine. In the early 1990s I visited Albina, a few days the town became accessible for civilians again. The nearly complete destruction (only six houses were still inhabited) made a lifelong impression on me. The Surinamese Civil War was a real war, even if eg the Yugoslavian Wars a few years later were much worse.

    The rumours that the Dutch government was involved are more than that. There are strong indications that high ranked staff from the Dutch embassy backed tge sergeants. It's very possible that the administration in The Hague knew nothing though. The first two years were not a dictatorship. Especially the Chin a Chen administration had real power. On 8 December 1982 Bouterse won the struggle for power. It's from then that the Surinamese economy went completely downhill. That again plus the incapability to win the Surinamese civil war forced Bouterse to give up his dictatorship.

    A not so popular fact in The Netherlands: the first Bouterse administration did fairly well - a lot better than the second Venetiaan administration, of which Brunswijk 's party was a partner. Suriname escaped the global economic crisis of 2010. However in 2014, due to monetary inflation, my Surinamese salary halved when converted in Euros or USD.

Ik ben overigens wel een groot fan van je video's. Ik vind deze wel de zwakste..... misschien toch een beetje updaten.

    The idea that people might give a dictator the power he seeks because of economic problems might seem absurd, but it's happened over and over again. It's why Trump might be president of the US again, all because inflation hit when the pandemic ended under his successor.

    At this very moment Dutch voters favoured in a national election a single member party, namely the PVV from Geert Wilders. Now he must form a coalition with likeminded parties, since he has no absolute majority victory. His ethno-nationalistic rethorics remind strongly of Trump's. Recent research findings identified that the vast majority of PVV voters don't care about economic topics as much as their dislike for immigrants from other religions, cultures or ethnicities. Wilders' first massive goal is to change the Dutch Constitution (Grondwet), such that this effectively opens the door to a second class citizenship by law. This is the supreme law of the Netherlands and sets forth the basic principles of the Dutch government and society. The Constitution was first adopted in 1815 and has been amended several times since then. The Constitution establishes the Netherlands as a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. It also guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms for all Dutch citizens, including the right to free speech, the right to vote, and the right to a fair trial. As such, this important document shapes the lives of all Dutch citizens. It guarantees their rights and freedoms and provides the framework for the Dutch government. The Dutch Constitution and justice by law as we know it today are in fundamental jeopardy.

    Desi Bouterse is one of those semi-comical figures in Third World lore. Originally allied with Cuba, he expelled the Cubans days after Maurice Bishop was killed. Bouterse was terrified of suffering the same fate. 😅 Bouterse later turned to the Libyans to prop up his regime.
