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.Malawi police cancelled a big opposition rally, to the fury of 20,000 multi-party advocates who had converged at a stadium in the wake of a referendum that backed multi-party democracy, AFP reports from Blantyre.
Supporters of the opposition United Democratic Front said four heavily armed policemen arrived at the stadium and told the UDF officials that the rally could not proceed since the police commissioner had not issued a permit and that people had to disperse.
