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.Agathe Uwilingiyamana, the Rwandan Prime Minister, and three of her ministers have been expelled from the Democratic and Republican Movement party over what the MDR described as treason, Reuter reports from Kigali.
Ms Uwilingiyamana, Rwanda's first female prime minister, was appointed by President Juvenal Habyarimana, but most members of her party opposed the move, saying her predecessor should remain in office until peace talks with the rebel Rwanda Patriotic Front were concluded.
