Two journalists working in the Ivory Coast have been forced to flee following separate threats to their lives from opposing forces.
Silué Kanigui, a correspondent with Notre Voie in Korhogo, a town 600km north of the capital, Abidjan, went into hiding after saying there had been persistent threats against his life by an armed group that supports Alassane Ouattara, who is recognised internationally as the country's president.
Tibruce Koffi, a contributor to the Le Nouveau Réveil, has fled into exile in France claiming that his life was threatened by a gang supporting Laurent Gbagbo, the president who refuses to step down after losing last year's election.
