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.Thick smoke has been spotted rising over Khartoum, Sudan as fighting enters a third week and ceasefires come to an end this weekend.
Air strikes, anti-aircraft weaponry and artillery could be heard in the capital on Saturday (April 29), with the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continuing to battle for power, after conflict erupted in mid-April.
Despite the 'ceasefire' the RSF has already accused the army of violating the rules, and fighting has continued.
At least 512 people have been killed and close to 4,200 wounded, according to the United Nations - but the toll is likely to be far higher.
The final flight out of the country to the UK is expected to leave at 18:00 BST.
