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 US hailed an agreement between the two main feuding rebel factions in Sudan to establish safe havens. Describing it as a breakthrough for humanitarian relief operations, Reuter reports from Washington.

A statement issued after talks in Nairobi said both sides would begin withdrawing forces from a 45-mile radius of the southern towns of Ayod, Kongor, Waat and Yuai. The area is controlled by the two main factions of the Sudan People's Liberation Army.
