HISTORY
The first European settlement was the work of the British and dates back to 1650. Already ceded by Great Britain to the Netherlands with the Treaty of Breda (1667), the region was definitively acquired by the latter, after another short period of English occupation, in 1815 (colony of the Dutch Guayana). With the abolition of slavery (1863), much space was given to Asian immigration (Indians and Indonesians), which introduced a constant factor of tension between the different ethnic communities. Having obtained extensive internal autonomy in 1954, Suriname achieved full independence on 25 November 1975, giving itself a republican constitution and a parliamentary system. In February 1980, however, a military coup overthrew the government of H. Arron (prime minister since independence), opening a period of political instability that saw the imposition of the figure of Colonel D. Bouterse, who, head of state since February 1982, after eliminating all the opponents he established a pro-Castro regime. The Netherlands and the United States broke off diplomatic relations and suspended the purchase of bauxite, throwing Suriname into a very serious economic crisis. The dictator therefore pursued a rapprochement with the Western world which did not, however, win him the trust of the international community; on the domestic level, moreover, from 1986 an anti-revolutionary guerrilla movement financed by the bourgeois exiles in the Netherlands began to become active in the western part of the country. As a result of these developments, Bouterse launched, at the beginning of 1987, a democratization program that resulted between September and November in the promulgation of a new constitutional document and the holding of free elections, which assigned the victory to the forces of the moderate opposition coalesced in the Front for Democracy and Development. The new legitimate government, preparing for the rehabilitation of the national economy, in the continuation of guerrilla activity was however soon forced to suffer heavy interference from the army, until it was overthrown with a further coup in 1990. On December 24, 1990 loyal soldiers the former dictator overthrew President R. Shankar, replacing him with J. Kraag, a member of the pro-military National Democratic Party, defeated in the 1987 elections. The negative international reactions, particularly from the United States, advised the new leaders to hold elections (September 1991) which were still won by the democratic opposition. President of the Republic became R. Venetiaan who could, in this way, carry out the pacification process with the guerrillas (August 1992) and Bouterse was forced to abandon the command of the army. The country’s situation could thus stabilize within a normal political dialectic until the new elections (May 1996), when the Front for Democracy and Development of the outgoing President Venetiaan still emerged victorious from the confrontation with the National Democratic Party of Bouterse. Having occurred shortly after a breakdown of the Front for Democracy, with the passage of some of its allied components to the party of the former dictator, and since no candidate had obtained the vote of 2/3 of the deputies, the Assembly of United Peoples elected J. Wijdenbosch of the National Democratic Party to the presidency of the republic. Under the agreements signed with the other parties in the coalition, Bouterse can no longer hold positions in the new government; he was also convicted of drug trafficking from the Dutch government. Venetian was again elected president in 2000. In 2010 Désire “Désì” Bouterse became president and head of government. The 2015 elections saw Buoterse win again. In 2019, however, Bouterse was sentenced to a 20-year prison sentence for having been the instigator of the killing of many political opponents in 1982.
