Surinamese people are the inhabitants or citizens of Suriname. Suriname had formerly been a Dutch colony which was captured from the English in 1667. Following Suriname’s independence in 1975 many Surinamese migrated to the Netherlands. A second wave of migrants relocated to the Netherlands during the 1980s while Suriname was under military regime.
