Flag of Suriname

The Flag of Suriname is formed by five horizontal bands of green (top, double width), white, red (quadruple width), white, and green (double width). There is a large, yellow, five-pointed star centered in the red band.

The flag was adopted on November 25, 1975, upon the independence of Suriname. The star represents the unity of all ethnic groups, the red stripe stands for progress and love, the green for hope and fertility, and the white bands for peace and justice.

The pre-independence flag of SurinameThe pre-independence flag consised of five colored stars connected by an ellipse. The colored stars represent the major ethnic groups that comprise the Surinamese population: the original Amerindians, the colonizing Europeans, the Africans brought in as slaves to work in plantations and the Hindus, Javanese and Chinese who came as indentured workers to replace the Africans who escaped slavery and settled in the hinterland. The ellipse represents the harmonious relationship amongst the groups.

Potato Seller

256 days ago

Paramaribo / Suriname Potato seller at market An alone potato seller with two other ladies at next room. Maybe a wife or workers. He was rejected me several times while trying to have his permission for photographing him. Finally I got it one early morning and he said "Yes !" while taking a deeply breath from his cigarette. It must be so pleasurable for him.
