📅 22 Juli 1986 📍 Suriname

Attacks on military posts in Stolkertsijver and Albina during the night of 21–22 July are generally treated as the beginning of the Interior War. Ronnie Brunswijk’s insurgency emerged amid conflict with the military government, state violence and longstanding marginalization of Maroon communities in the interior. The conflict brought severe harm to civilians and should not be reduced to a simple contest between two armed leaders.
