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.ALBANIA'S PRESIDENT Rexhep Meidani said the bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Serbia's Kosovo province should be stopped by "any means".
President Meidani flew to the northern region of Tropoje to meet some of the thousands of ethnic Albanians who have fled Kosovo for Albania in the past two weeks.
"With any means we have to stop the bloodshed and to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing to create a new situation without the army or secret police (in Kosovo)." Mr Meidani said.
Pulling the security forces out of Kosovo is the key demand of the Contact Group of big powers. Hundreds of people have been killed - and thousands uprooted - since Serbia's security forces launched a campaign earlier this year to crush pro-independence guerrillas in Kosovo.
