Snesiekondre (also: Snesikondre[2] ) is a village of Paramacca Maroons in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname. The village is located at the end of the road connecting Langatabiki to Patamacca and the rest of Suriname.[3]
In 1977, a development plan proposed developing a new village on the road to Patamacca. The plan was cancelled in 1982 when the Netherlands withdrew all aid in the aftermath of the December murders.[3] The idea was to concentrate the population in larger settlements.[4]
In 2010, Snesiekondre was designated as regional centre,[5] and an administrative center for the Pamacca resort (municipality) was constructed.[6]
