Alcoholism: India, Indentureship and the Indian Diaspora
Alcoholism: India, Indentureship and the Indian Diaspora
A peaceful protest against the government in Suriname turned violent on Friday 17th February 2023, with protesters storming the parliament building and looting gas stations and stores in the city. The protest was sparked by anger at President Chan Santokhi's policies and the economic crisis in Suriname, with inflation above 54% and a high national debt. The violence left at least 26 people injured, and 119 people were arrested. The government called in the army and police to combat the unrest and imposed a curfew in the city. The protest was condemned by Surinamese political parties, and the US embassy in Paramaribo called the attack on the parliament building an "unacceptable attack on democracy."
