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.SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC could still achieve his goal of the mass deportation of Kosovo Albanians despite Nato's air campaign, the alliance's top general Klaus Naumann said yesterday.
In a surprisingly blunt statement, General Naumann criticised Nato for not being tough enough in the initial stages of the campaign and for losing the element of surprise in its dealings with the Serb leader. This meant that the conflict may be prolonged and could result in far more casualties than necessary. "Frankly and honestly we did not succeed in our initial attempt to coerce Milosevic through air strikes to accept our demands. Nor did we succeed in preventing Yugoslavia from pursuing a campaign of ethnic separation and expulsion."
