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.Uganda is ready to send an additional 2,000 peacekeeping troops to Somalia despite threats from hardline Islamists of more attacks if peacekeepers are not withdrawn.
Coordinated explosions ripped through two nightspots in the Ugandan capital of Kampala on July 11, killing 73 people watching the World Cup final.
"If we're called on to contribute a stronger force in Somalia, we're ready to send an extra 2,000," army spokesman Felix Kulayigye said. The al-Qa'ida-linked al Shabaab group, which claimed the Kampala strikes, said it was avenging the killing of civilians by the African Union peacekeeping force.
