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.Togo's government and the main opposition, which boycotted this week's presidential elections, accused each other of killing 15 militants in a central village, Reuter reports from Lome.
The government said 15 opposition militants died in prison on Thursday after eating poisoned food delivered by supporters of the opposition Committee for Renewal (CAR). But the opposition blamed security forces.
