The Kourou peace agreement is signed between the Jungle commando and Government of Suriname ending the armed conflict.

The Kourou Peace agreement was signed by the Government of Suriname and the Jungle Commando on 21st of july 1989 to formally stop the armed conflict and enable refugees in French Guiana to return home. Saamaka settlers from the destroyed villages of Pokigron and Wakibasu returned to their lands and the villages were rebuilt (with poor government support).

The National Army claimed to step out of the war acknowledging the peace agreement but invisibly promoted paramilitarism among indigenous and tribal groups to continue fighting the Jungle Commando. Through those actions, they objected the Kourou agreement as they wanted to continue the political and military control of the hinterland.
