Your support helps us to tell the story
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.
Your support makes all the difference.At least 67 people have been killed in a wave of bombings and shootings that targeted police stations, banks and churches in northern Nigeria, officials said yesterday.
No organisation has claimed responsibility, but there are suspicions that the radical Islamist group Boko Haram may have been responsible. The attacks started with a car bomb, which exploded outside a military barracks in the city of Damaturu, the capital of Yobe State. Gunmen then charged through the town, torching police stations and churches. A branch of a local bank was also destroyed.
