Abstract

The article reports the unexpected death of Chandrikapersad "Chan" Santokhi, former president of Suriname, who led the country from 2020 to 2025. Santokhi, aged 67, previously served as minister of justice and police and headed the Progressive Reform Party. His presidency focused on market-oriented reforms linked to an International Monetary Fund program as Suriname prepared for an offshore oil boom. The current administration under President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons expressed condolences to Santokhi’s family and colleagues. [Extracted from the article]
