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.Nicosia (Reuter) - Iraqi opposition groups ending a meeting in Kurd-controlled northern Iraq have agreed to unite to topple Saddam Hussein, Iraqi dissident sources said yesterday.
Shia and Sunni Muslims, Kurds, Turkomans and Assyrians as well as Communists, socialists, rebel Baathists backed by Syria and Saudi Arabia, and former army generals met for three days in the northern town of Salahuddin, out of reach of the Iraqi army.
Iraqi exiles said the opposition groups had agreed to set aside differences in order to defeat President Saddam.
