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.An official says 48 people have been killed in clashes over land between pastoral and farming communities in Kenya's southeast.
Tana river district police chief Joseph Kavoo said today that some people were burnt in their houses, others hacked to death or shot with arrows.
Resident Said Mgeni says the attacks began at dawn where a group of about 200 people belonging to the Pokomo ethnic group and who are farmers raided a village in the Riketa area and torched all the houses belonging to the Orma, a pastoralist community.
Mgeni says a majority of those who died are women and children. Last week the Orma attacked the Pokomo.
