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.A renegade commander in South Sudan's army said yesterday that government troops had clashed with soldiers loyal to him, leaving 53 dead and ending hopes of a negotiated end to his mini-revolt.
General George Athor and a small contingent of troops rebelled in protest at the outcome of elections in April in which General Athor stood. He was defeated by a candidate belonging to the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) of the South Sudan President Salva Kiir. General Athor said Mr Kiir's forces attacked yesterday. The general said most of the dead were government troops.
