PRESSURE IN MARIJKEDORP RESULTS IN PEACE CORPS WITHDRAWAL
Two members of the Peace Corps have been called back from Marijkedorp after having been ordered to leave the village by Captain Henri Zaalman who accused them of being CIA agents. For the villagers it was clear that the Captain wanted them out for another reason. The two unfortunates were the victims of a village dispute that has divided this small village of less than 100 inhabitants in two camps for the past year. Eddie Stice, country director of the Peace Corps has confirmed the return of the two to Paramaribo, he said that the two were not only operating in Marijkedorp but also in Pierrekondre and surrounding areas. After leaving the village the two began building a house in the vacinity of Albina , this too was not acceptable so they had no other choice but to withdraw from the area. This matter is now in the hands of the Ministry of Regional development.
