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.Offcials launched a criminal inquiry into the former president Laurent Gbagbo and his entourage yesterday, as sporadic fighting broke out in parts of the main city, Abidjan.
A spokesman for the government said Mr Gbagbo, his wife and 100 other people in his inner circle were being investigated for human rights abuses after Mr Gbagbo used the army to cling to power after losing last November's election to Alassane Ouattara.
Mr Ouattara took control this month with the aid of French and UN soldiers.
