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.Four prominent Rwandans accused of genocide will appear in court in Tanzania for the first time on 19 and 20 February, the UN tribunal said yesterday.
Theoneste Bagosora, a former colonel in the Hutu Rwandan army, was widely regarded as the most wanted suspect until he was extradited from jail in Cameroon to Arusha on 23 January. A cabinet director in Rwanda's defence ministry at the time of the 1994 genocide, he is accused of directing events in the first days of the mass slaughter of some 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis. Anatole Nsengiyumva is a former lieutenant-colonel. Andre Ntagerura is a former minister of transport and Ferdinand Nahimana is former director of Radio Mille Collines, which fanned ethnic hatred.
