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.Police have raided the party headquarters of Zimbabwe's Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, and arrested a youth leader and two security guards.
It appears to be the latest crisis in the unity government, in which power is shared by Mr Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, and President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party. Last week, Mr Tsvangirai said he wanted to pull out of the government after police arrested one of his top political allies, the Energy Minister Elton Mangoma.
Lawyers are trying to find out why the MDC staff were held.
