# Usage
```python
from flair.data import Sentence
from flair.models import SequenceTagger
import pyarabic.araby as araby
from icecream import ic

arTagger = SequenceTagger.load('megantosh/flair-arabic-MSA-aqmar')

sentence = Sentence('George Washington went to Washington .')
arSentence = Sentence('عمرو عادلي أستاذ للاقتصاد السياسي المساعد في الجامعة الأمريكية  بالقاهرة .')


# predict NER tags
tagger.predict(sentence)
arTagger.predict(arSentence)

# print sentence with predicted tags
ic(sentence.to_tagged_string)
ic(arSentence.to_tagged_string)

```
