Oil fever has arrived in Suriname! This small and sparsely populated South American country is the latest to join a select list of countries with large offshore oil fields. Neighbouring Guyana is already striking gold, now Suriname hopes to follow in its footsteps.
However, dangers lurk for Suriname: geopolitical tensions have been brought to the continent by Venezuela over its claim to the Essequibo. And, as if that were not enough, a thoroughly corrupt state negates the chances of wealth reaching a population shaken by poverty and stagnation.
How did Suriname get to this point, why are so many hopes being pinned on this small country, and can the conflict over the Essequibo Guyana disrupt Suriname's plans?
