Manlobi

Manlobi (also: Malobi[2]) is a village of Ndyuka Maroons in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname.

The village is located on an island in the Tapanahony River.

[5] In 2007, Freedom Resources, a gold mining company, procured a large concession on the left shore of the river and built a settlement near the landing ground with a supermarket.

[6] The mining activities have attracted skalians, illegal gold dredges, who pollute the river with mercury.

[1] In 2009, the short documentary Trypps #6 by Ben Russell was shot in Manlobi.
