Current Military Situation. After a lull in October, Brunswijk i.s tightening his grip in the east. --The insurgents have taken control of key economic facilities and transportation arteries, ending domestic cooking oil production, closing a key aluminum mine and insolating pockets of government troops. --To shore up his position Bouterse is acquiring two helicopters and apparently has received Libyan-funded small arms from Nicaragua shipped via Cuba. 2. Political Situation. Internal political forces have been intimidated back to quiescence by recent murders of ethnic minorities. --Brunswijk and exiles continue to contact internal political parties to ensure a smooth transition following Bouterse's ouster. 3. U.S. Policy. The State Department is taking the lead in reassessing our policy. --The major allies are divided: Brazil favors sticking with Bouterse; the Venezuelans are passive; the Dutch believe he must go; and the French are mainly interested in securing French Guiana's borders with Suriname. --We understand Under Secretary Armacost favors lining up the players before addressing the situation in Suriname; State Department's Latin American Bureau is looking for ways to engineer a "Marcos" solution.
