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.The leader of Mali's National Assembly, forced into exile after last month's coup, returned this weekend, marking the first step in the country's path back to constitutional rule.
Dioncounda Traore was in Burkina Faso on 21 March when soldiers ousted Mali's President.
Under intense pressure from neighbouring nations, the junior officer who seized power signed an accord agreeing to return to civilian rule. The accord calls for the immediate application of Article 36 of the constitution, which says that if the President is unable to carry out his functions, the head of the assembly becomes interim President until elections can be held.
