The WeSean Student Federation (WSF) is a student organization representing students from the Western Southeast Asian Region.[1]. Established on 17 March 2024, the WSF focuses on fostering collaboration in educational initiatives and addressing social development issues within the region.[2][3]

About

[edit]

The WeSean Student Federation (WSF) was established following a split from the Northeast Students' Organization (NESO). The founding members cited concerns over NESO's focus on ethnocentric policies and perceived corruption. Additionally, they expressed opposition to the methods employed in NESO's protests, particularly those involving vandalism and damage to public property.[4] They sought to create a more inclusive platform for transnational[5] Wesean activism and unity.[6] The formation of WSF was also a response to NESO's silence on critical issues like the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the scrapping of the Frontier Regulation Act (FMR)[7][8]

The WSF has been involved in efforts to promote cross-border unity among WeSeans in Bangladesh and Myanmar.[9]
