The Steering Committee for the Unification of Afro-Surinamese will make a new attempt next month to reconcile Afro-Surinamese. In 2019, an initial attempt was made when Gregory Rusland, chairman of the National Party of Suriname (NPS), and Ronnie Brunswijk, leader of the General Liberation and Development Party (ABOP), launched the Mapane Movement. However, the ABOP leader, who is also the Vice President, has repeatedly hinted that the effort was unsuccessful, despite initially calling it a success in 2019.
On Monday, October 21, Brunswijk emphasized that politics should not be involved this time. He had received members of the steering committee at his office, where they informed him that November 17 has been chosen as the date for Reconciliation Day, once again to take place in Mapane.
Brunswijk wants to involve the Indigenous community in this event as well. The steering committee highlighted his extensive network and requested his support in making the Reconciliation Day a success. Brunswijk believes that cultural and religious aspects should take precedence and has pledged his contribution to the success of the event. Earlier this year, the ABOP leader approached several individuals to discuss various challenges.
These include the division among Afro-Surinamese, the significant disadvantages faced by these groups, the issue of recognition and apologies from the former colonizer, and the approaching end of the UN Decade for People of African Descent.
Out of this initiative, the steering committee was formed under the leadership of Armand Zunder. Its main goal is to organize a social, cultural, spiritual, and community-oriented event to identify the time and place of the division among Afro-Surinamese. The committee aims to achieve reconciliation and mutual acceptance, thereby laying the foundation for greater awareness among the African Srananman, with sustainable prosperity and well-being as the ultimate goal.
