Bouterse: `Politics outside of army’

(de Ware Tijd)  — On Friday, at the transfer of command, it was made quite clear that the National Army (NL) has to be brought to greater heights. The unity within the army is growing but there should not be any political ethnic disunity. Political preference should also be left far from the organization. This is what President Desi Bouterse told the military. He also told them not to attend political activities in uniform. According to the Commander-in-Chief there is much to do so that there is not any time left for politics in the barracks.
