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.LAGOS (Reuter) - More Nigerian oil workers returned to work yesterday as a two-month strike to topple the military government appeared to weaken. General Sanni Abacha, Nigeria's military ruler, under pressure to restore civilian rule, pledged to pursue an orderly handover and urged the armed forces to remain united.
He did not announce a date for a handover but has said this would be determined by an on-going constitutional conference. Oil workers want power handed to Moshood Abiola, who is credited with winning last year's annulled presidential election. Chief Abiola is in custody charged with treason.
