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.In this readable and compelling account of one of the world's most baffling conflicts, Reuters journalist Matthew Green sets out to find Uganda's rebel leader Joseph Kony, whose Lord's Resistance Army still terrorises much of the country, taking women and child soldiers to swell its ranks.
Green asks how "one maniac leading an army of abducted children could hold half a country hostage for 20 years". Of course it is a question that no sane reporter can really answer, but his is an enlightening tribute to this beautiful and battered country.
