The man who led the “Jungle Commando” insurgency in Suriname says he wants to run for president in the South American nation.
Ronny Brunswijk is a member of parliament and part of the Mega Combination coalition that put current President Desi Bouterse in power. Brunswijk’s support of Bouterse was a surprise since they were once bitter enemies. Brunswijk led the rebels in the 1986-1992 Bush War against Bouterse’s then-dictatorship.
Brunswijk now says he wants to be a candidate for president in 2015. He made the announcement at a Saturday night concert by U.S. rapper Rick Ross he promoted.
The ruling party said Monday that Bouterse intends to run for re-election. Both men have been convicted in absentia in the Netherlands of drug trafficking.

Rap star and exotic-car enthusiast, Rick Ross, had a double-close call on Monday morning, escaping harm in what appears to be an attempted drive-by shooting.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, Ross was driving his 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost (pictured) with his girlfriend, Shateria Moragne-el, as a passenger at 5:00 AM on Monday. An unnamed gunman in another vehicle opened fire on Ross’ car, causing the rapper to turn a corner, lose control of the vehicle and eventually crash into the wall of an apartment complex. Neither Ross nor Moragne-el was injured, despite reports that “dozens” of ammo casings were found at the crime scene.
Ross had been out celebrating his birthday on Sunday night; at nearby restaurant Floridian and a club called LIV in Miami Beach. Reports indicate that the restaurant was also the target of gunfire – some 15 shots that “sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle.”
