Sudan riches go on show
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.

The artefacts, from the Nile's fourth cataract which is due to be flooded by 2008, will be among 320 pieces lent by the National Museum in Khartoum, itself one of the oldest museums in Africa.
Sudan: Ancient Treasures, an Exhibition of Recent Discoveries, has been three years in the planning but has gained poignancy in the light of the humanitarian crisis. Neil MacGregor, the British Museum's director, said a planned £5 entrance fee had been scrapped, but there would be boxes for donations to Oxfam and Save the Children.
