From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

FOR PEACE-LOVING people, the Rambouillet deal has not defused the possibility of war in the long-standing tinder-box. We urge the parties concerned to show genuine sincerity when striving for a peaceful political resolution of the crisis. A peaceful, just and reasonable resolution to the Kosovo crisis relies eventually on the parties involved in Yugoslavia.

THE SITUATION is quite critical now. All the parties involved in the Balkans have failed to put up a united front. The contact group will hopefully succeed in bringing Milosevic to see reason and agree to the stationing of a peace force in Kosovo. This will be for an interim period and, in the extraordinary circumstances which prevail, this move can hardly be interpreted as an infringement of Serbian sovereignty.

BY BLOCKING the Kosovar delegation from accepting a reasonable settlement which would have forced the Serbs on to the defensive, the KLA has given Milosevic room to manoeuvre. He now has until the talks reconvene to eradicate the KLA in order to present a fait accompli to Nato: no KLA, no Kosovo problem, no negotiations.

RAMBOUILLET WASN'T a failure. It's a beginning. But time is of the essence. Back in the Balkans, fighting has recommenced. We know only too well the price a civilian population pays when at the mercy of the Serbian forces.
