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.

MONROVIA (AFP) - The bodies of three American nuns murdered in the Liberian capital have been found by the Nigerian-led Ecomog task force and will be repatriated by the US embassy, officials said here.

The discovery of the bodies in the eastern Gardnersville suburb, the area of the nuns' convent, came as Ecomog troops pushed forward into the rebel- held district at the weekend and re-established control, the interim government stated. An earlier statement read on national radio did not name the nuns, who were among five killed after Charles Taylor's rebels laid siege to Monrovia on 15 October.
