- Jean-Baptiste Mockey
Jean-Baptiste Mockey (died 1964) was an Ivorian politician. He was
Deputy Prime Minister underFélix Houphouët-Boigny . Despite this, radical nationalists, led by Mockey, openly opposed the government'sFrancophile policies.Nandjui, p. 44.] To solve this problem, Houphouët-Boigny decided to get rid of Mockey by exiling him in September 1959, claiming that Mockey had attempted to assassinate him using maleficent fetishes in the "complot du chat noir" (black cat conspiracy). [Nandjui, p. 45.] Mockey was executed in 1964.
