	Suriname President Inaugurated to 2nd Term (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ronald Venetiaan, who has sought to stabilize Suriname's economy through spending cuts and privatizations, was sworn in to a five-year term in a church in the South American country's capital of Paramaribo.
		An assembly of regional councils re-elected Venetiaan on Aug. 3 in a special vote called after the National Assembly failed to choose a president in two rounds of voting last month.
		In May parliamentary elections, Venetiaan's coalition fell short of both the two-thirds majority needed to elect a president and the simple majority required to govern without a coalition.

		The subsequent decade of civil war and other rebellions left many nations hesitant to aid Surinam economically until "the government of President Ronald Venetiaan puts its tottering economic house in order." (7) In 1994, production was in decline and unemployment was at 20% with an annual per capita income of $500.
		However, environmentalists warn that, ultimately timber operations will "drain more money than they yield by burdening a nation's infrastructure and degrading precious natural assets." (8) Environmentalists further argue that Surinam is not being adequately reimbursed in proportion to the resources lost and the revenues the logging companies will generate.
		However, reaction among the Venetiaan administration to such offers has been "tepid." (22) For the opponents of the logging in Surinam, it is more than trees that are at stake.
