Following a selection process, Luton based Ramesh was appointed to the (voluntary) position. His role will include raising funds, handling social media and a new website, registering the group with international bodies, and establishing contact with self-determinist Diasporas.

Ramesh has previously worked with Diaspora organisations and said “I am delighted to be given this opportunity to drive forward NwS’s vital work. Not only does it need to provide a platform for the UK’s numerous SD Diasporas it needs to promote the principle itself of self-determination and elevate it to the important position it once had amongst diplomats, especially at the end of the Great War (1914-18)”

We wish him well and look forward to reporting on new initiatives.

A recent meeting of some members of the National Executive discussed plans with the new General Secretary.
