The dark horses of 1994
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.Some places are bound to generate news this year: South Africa, with its multi-racial election in April, Russia, former Yugoslavia, the US. But which countries will provide unexpected plot lines for the global soap opera this year? Independent writers focus on the possible flashpoints of 1994. Will this be the year when the last outposts of the Marxist empire - Cuba and North Korea - crumble into democracy or mayhem? Will desultory violence and seething resentments in Zaire erupt into a civil war? Will Iran's economy degenerate to the point of social unrest, even civil war? Will the post-unification economic crisis and crush of regional elections in Germany, culminating in a federal election in December, unseat Chancellor Kohl, boost the far right and scuttle the country's post-war consensus?
