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.Former President Laurent Gbagbo, who almost sparked civil war as he attempted to cling on to power, was on his way to the Hague last night after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest.
During the four-month stand-off following his election defeat, Mr Gbagbo's forces are accused of systematically killing opponents, shelling residential areas, and using tanks to fire on unarmed women.
He has been under house arrest. His spokesman, Kone Katinan, confirmed: "He's in the plane."
