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.Youths loyal to Laurent Gbagbo, the Ivorian leader who is refusing to cede power, attacked a UN vehicle at a makeshift roadblock in Abidjan yesterday. They dragged out and beat the driver and then set the vehicle ablaze.
A UN ambulance also had to retreat after security forces backing Mr Gbagbo pelted it with stones.
The UN Security Council met in New York to discuss Ivory Coast. It is expected to adopt a resolution authorising the UN force to continue its mission in the country.
