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.

ADDIS ABABA (AFP) - The Somali warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed arrived in Addis Ababa late yesterday to join informal talks with other Somali factions on achieving peace in their country, airport officials said.

General Aideed accepted the invitation to attend the talks, which are hosted by the Ethiopian President, Meles Zenawi, after the United States gave him pledges that his life would not be in danger.
