Jungle Commando

Jungle Commando

The Jungle Commando (formally known as the Suriname National Liberation Army) was a guerrilla commando group in Suriname. It was founded by Ronnie Brunswijk in 1986 to ensure equal rights for Suriname's minority Maroon population.

The Jungle Commando fought a guerrilla war against the Surinamese government of Dési Bouterse in the 1980s, before a truce was negotiated in March of 1991.

At one time the Jungle Commando controlled a large area in East Suriname.

In 2005, Bruswijk warned that the Jungle Commando could resume fighting if the 1992 Kourou peace accord's conditions were not met. [ [http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/2005/03/30/warns.shtml Former Suriname rebel leader warns against new insurgency] 30 March 2005. "Caribbean Net News".]
