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.ANTHONY Farrah-Hockley exhibits little understanding of the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and his argument contributes little to assuaging Bosnia's misery. By no stretch of the imagination is Bosnia a sovereign state. Its people are bitterly divided; its government carries no authority; its constitution is virtually non- existent.
The war in Bosnia is a civil conflict resulting from nationalistic intransigence. All three sides are responsible, and all three sides share responsibility for bringing about peace and stability to this region.
This might explain why the Western powers, who have contributed immensely to this sad spectacle in former Yugoslavia, have not heeded the advice of 'armchair strategists' whose grasp is not up to much.
