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.Ugandan rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army have killed at least 96 civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo this year, Human Rights Watch has warned.
The atrocities follow a massacre of more than 300 people in December. They call into question the ability of the UN peacekeeping force to protect civilians.
The rights group says 74 people died in an attack on Niangara in February. The rebels burned houses, snatched children, and shot or crushed the skulls of those unable to flee. The UN has also documented the abuses near Niangara, saying the death toll was as high as 100.
