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.The Colombian military has killed one of the most senior commanders of the Farc, the Marxist rebel group which has led a civil war in the country for more than 40 years.
Alfonso Cano, was killed in a raid on a Farc position in the south-western Cauca region. Colombian television showed pictures of Cano's corpse with his characteristic beard shaved off. President Juan Manuel Santos described Cano's death as "the most devastating blow that this group has suffered in its history".
