Suriname's military rule six years after democratic revolution
Desi Bonterse and a band of army sergeants seized power in a so called democratic revolution six years ago. The regime faces economic trouble, public discontent, and slow progress toward a new constitution and democratic governance. U.S. arrests of alleged mercenaries and Netherlands warnings add external pressure while Bonterse emphasizes unity among major ethnic groups and gradual political reform.
