Africa News Tonight: US Congress meets to certify 2024 election, Africa conflicts likely to continue, Cameroon seizes militant weapons

Today US lawmakers gather for a joint session of Congress to certify Donald Trump's presidential election win --a procedure that happens every four years after the vote and two weeks before the president's inauguration. 2024 was a year of conflict, with wars in Gaza and Ukraine claiming thousands of lives, and Africa was not spared, with conflict in Sudan, rebel attacks in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and terrorism across the Sahel region. Cameroon’s military says it has seized several hundred weapons and combat uniforms that were being smuggled to a hideout of the Nigeria-based terrorist group Boko Haram.
