The Jungle Commando (formally known as the Suriname National Liberation Army) was a guerrilla commando group in Suriname. It was founded by Ronnie Brunswijk in 1986 to ensure equal rights for Suriname's minority Maroon population. The group was formed after the Suriname troops committed mass murder against 35 people in Moiwana Village, near Moengo, after the Suriname national army failed to capture Ronnie Brunswijk. The commando fought against Desi Bouterse and the Surinamese army in the Suriname Guerrilla War. In the war against the military regime of Desi Bouterse, Jungle Commando got a supply of money, weapons from a group of people who live in the Netherlands Suriname as organisasi buruh Motherbond, Paul Somohardjo, and the Suriname National Liberation League (Henk Chin A Sen)
