Hi Adam, Thank you for sharing. It will interest you to know that we (I mean the Gungbe Wikinews Community) see the importance of Wikinews to the African community. After months of working on Gungbe Wikinews creation, The subdomain (guw.wiktionary.org) was finally launched on April 20, 2023 thus becoming the first indegenous African language with a Wikinews subdomain. With hundreds of spoken Wikinews articles, most of the Wikinews articles is laced with a spoken Wikinews to appeal to the not-so-literate and visually impaired gungbe speakers.
