War wounds
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.The international community has failed to underpin peace efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo with financial and peacekeeping support on the scale required. With the peace process now increasingly fragile, the UN is at last considering more than doubling the size of its mission in Congo. It is far from certain that the Security Council will agree to expand the mission from 10,000 to 24,000 troops, even though the need is now manifest and urgent. The genocide in Sudan is already a scar on the conscience of the world. Congo's five-year civil war, which killed 3 million people, must not be allowed to re-ignite.
