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.

Two people were killed and nine wounded, including four tourists, when a grenade exploded in a hotel in the east Ethiopian town of Harar. The dead were not identified; the wounded included two Britons, a French woman and a German, sources said. Police said in a statement they were searching for the attackers.

One of the two British tourists was critically wounded and was flown yesterday to the Black Lion hospital in the Ethiopian capital where she was being treated in the intensive care unit. Reuters - Addis Ababa
