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.Kigali - The last 546 Hutus holding out at the Kibeho camp in south-west Rwanda surrendered to government soldiers who massacred about 2,000 refugees 19 days ago. Most of the survivors fled, but hundreds took refuge in a school building, where they lived on rainwater and the few rations they had with them.
The final group was taken by truck to Butare for screening before being returned to their home villages. As they left the camp, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey arrived in Rwanda, saying he had not come to "judge or condemn". AFP
