Suriname’s Army Fails To End Bauxite Strike

Suriname’s Army today failed to end a strike in the country’s vital bauxite industry apparently aimed at toppling the military ruler, Desi Bouterse, the Dutch news agency A.N.P. reported.

Soldiers occupied the Suralco bauxite plant near Suriname’s capital, Paramaribo, but withdrew after several thousand workers made clear they were determined to continue their three-week-old strike, the agency reported.

A version of this article appears in print on Jan. 12, 1984, Section A, Page 5 of the National edition with the headline: AROUND THE WORLD; Suriname’s Army Fails To End Bauxite Strike.
