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.Zimbabwe's prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, has been accused by state-run radio of trying to spark uprisings against President Robert Mugabe similar to those seen in Tunisia and Egypt.
The accusation came as an independent doctors' group said recent political violence has left at least three supporters of Mr Tsvangirai's MDC party in hospital with "grave injuries".
The stone-throwing and beatings started on Monday. On Wednesday, armed police sealed off the offices of the MDC-led Harare City Council as it was besieged by a pro-Mugabe mob.
