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.

KIGALI - Representatives of the Rwandan army and rebel forces held their first meeting to explore terms for a ceasefire, while fighting still raged for control of Kigali on Friday, Reuter reports.

Belgium said yesterday that it had sent 750, not 400, troops to Rwanda for the evacuation of its nationals and other foreigners. Army officials said they had kept silent about the extra troops because Rwanda had given permission to send in only 400 Belgian paratroops.
