how is it that the people who actually live and work in Nairobi, and those who visited the city and spoke with friends and neighbors who knew the Ndesandjos as the kids were growing up, all state as a fact that David is real.

May we please have links to any of this?
I’ve been posting links for quite some time now. I found a long, in-depth article in The Daily Nation, Kenya’s largest newspaper, that mentioned the facts of David’s life, including his motorcycle death. I found a much shorter article in Kenya’s second largest newspaper, The Standard, which also mentioned David’s life and death in a motorcycle crash. Sally Jacobs, for her book on Obama Sr., interviewed just about every neighbor the Ndesandjos ever had [there is an appendix in the back of her book, citing every single interview & the date on which it was conducted] and she too affirms David’s life and death.
The fact is, not one person who actually knew the Ndesandjos has stepped forward to question or deny David’s existence. Now that a new photo has been published on the cover of Mark Ndesandjos upcoming memoir, its easy to see the original David (of the younger photo) is indeed the same kid on the book jacket, only now ~three years older. Mark also says he devotes an entire section in his upcoming book to David and his relationship to the other siblings.
Bottom-line: there is zero evidence that David never existed, and overwhelming evidence that he did.
Oh, and btw, I also tracked down the present day Roman Obama. He returned from Russia to Equatorial Guinea and went into diplomatic service. He is today stationed in the D.C. embassy of Equatorial Guinea. There’s a photo of him on Google images, and he looks nothing like Obama.
I’ve tried and tried and tried to show that all of those statements are nothing but reprints of little snippets from the biographies, particularly the one by Sally Jacobs. Most of the articles do credit the source, they link straight back to her bio.
One doesn’t. It simply runs a summary of what articles appeared on a certain day, again, quoting the same information.
What do I get for my trouble? Hysterics. It’s not worth the trouble. Ignore the disruptive toddler in the room.
