For most African languages, high-quality speech-text pairs are scarce making building text-to-speech (TTS) systems fairly inaccessible. In our new work at #InterSpeech2022 (w/ @gneubig and Alan Black), we tackle this problem. 1/4

@vukosi @CyrilRamaphosa Congratulations Prof!

The boards were showing the flight is departing at 18:15 (~2hrs) but the flight is cancelled. I was literally on a call with @UG_Airlines 22 hours ago confirming my flight is still on with the recent cancellations. They confirmed and sent an updated ticket today morning.

[Perez Ogayo @a_ogayo]

Extremely frustrated with @UG_Airlines. Drove 8hrs to Lagos airport for UR900, only to find it CANCELLED. No email, no call, and your systems still show it as active! 😡 Now stranded with zero info on accommodation or a confirmed rebooking. This is unacceptable. Help!

[Andrew M. Mwenda @AndrewMwenda]

The tragedy happening at Uganda Airlines is far beyond even my 2019 doomsday predictions. One plane is stuck in Lagos, another in London, passengers stranded, airline rapidly falling apart as top management loot with impunity. Even God cannot save this airline.

What annoyed Kenyans. An MP loots then arrogantly shows you such levels of waste. #RejectFinanceBill2024

[ICJ Kenya @ICJKenya]

STATEMENT: As a member of the Police Reforms Working Group - Kenya, ICJ Kenya would like to say that, throughout the day, we have reliably documented the following.

At least five people have been shot dead, including one medical officer while treating the injured.

Thirty-one people have been injured. 13 have been shot with live bullets, 4 with rubber bullets and 3 people have been hit with launcher canisters. 11 others survived with minor injuries.

[waikwa @waikwawanyoike]

The aggravated financial crimes of KK Govt are also in the Appropriation Bill, 2024

Why National Intelligence Service (NSIS) should be getting more than double the Judiciary's budget (46B vs 22B) is just irrational.

We are building a constitutional not a security state.
