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 FIRED tear gas and chased hundreds of anti-Nato protesters through the capital, Skopje, yesterday after a crowd attacked the US embassy to protest at the Nato attacks.
I saw three bright flashes in the sky over the capital and small-arms fire could be heard while police helicopters clattered overhead. Angry protesters were forced back from the American embassy after pulling down its perimeter fence and setting fire to cars parked near by. Police drove the rioters away and cordoned off government buildings and those of Western organisations.
The Macedonian Prime Minister, Ljubco Georgievski, said that some 20,000 ethnic Albanian refugees had poured in from Kosovo.
"If responsibility for the catastrophe in Kosovo rests on Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, then the spillover of this catastrophe here is the responsibility of the US and the EU," Mr Georgievski said.
