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.Nigeria has agreed to meet Commonwealth leaders for talks in London in a first sign of willingness to respond to international disquiet about its civil rights record. The talks, on 24 and 25 June, follow months of refusal to enter formal discussion with the Commonwealth.
A high-level delegation from Nigeria will meet the eight foreign ministers of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group, set up in November last year after the execution of the Nigerian opposition leader, Ken Saro Wiwa. The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, said he hoped for a "constructive and continuing dialogue".
Nigerian authorities said yesterday that they had detained the eldest son of the jailed opposition leader Moshood Abiola as part of their investigation into the murder of Abiola's wife.
