Ivory Coast: Pro-opposition newspaper editor told: "Idiots like you will be killed one by one"

Reporters Without Borders has said it is appalled by the impunity with which anonymous phone callers have been making death threats for more than a week against Eddy Péhé, the editor of the opposition daily Le Nouveau Réveil, forcing him to flee his home. "This latest episode in the grim saga endured by Côte d'Ivoire's journalists must be taken seriously," the organisation said. "Whether under pressure or in bad faith, the Ivorian police have failed in their duty to protect citizens, because any police force should be capable of tracking down the source of such phone calls."
