Africa News Tonight - VOA Africa

More than 1.1 million doses of an oral cholera vaccine have arrived in South Sudan, as the government launched a program to inoculate more than 80 percent of the population. The 119th U.S. Congress will come into session Friday, but after a contentious battle over government funding last month, the Republican Party’s seemingly unified control of the Senate, House of Representatives and presidency faces challenges.
