 Suriname Guerrilla War 1986-1989
The National Military Council, led by Lieutenant Colonel Desire Bouterse (1946-), controlled the government of Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana) between 1982 and 1988, a period when opposition leaders were murdered, natives were restrained, and human rights abuses regularly occurred.
In Suriname's eastern region in 1986, increased rebel resistance under Ronnie Brunswijk, a former bodyguard of Bouterse, resulted in a declared state of emergency in December, thus compelling Bouterse to hold general elections that brought a democratic civilian government to power in January 1988.
But Bouterse remained head of the army and, in 1989, refused to accept the conditions of a peace signed by Brusnwijk and Suriname's representative in Kourou in neighboring French Guiana.
