I know you mean well, but I can guarantee you that no one is going to go back through another thread and look at a stack of photographs and try to figure out what you mean... Is this the photo you are referring to?

It appears on the cover of a book that was touted by him quite some time ago:

And if you look closely, it's not a book he's holding, it's only a cover, and at the time, he was still looking for a translator because (he said) it was written in CHINESE.

This Daily Mail story is from 2013:

BUT WITHIN THE TEXT IS THIS STATEMENT:

Even though he felt their relationship was distant, 'I hope that my brother and I can really hug each other after he's president and we can be a family again,' said Ndesandjo, who resembles Obama.

Drunken beatings and threats made with a knife: Obama's half-brother writes book on the horrors of living with the president's absent father in Kenya

On a thread on FR you posted what looked like a number of pages from a book that were yellow and appeared aged. Did those images come from the book he's shown holding? Was it ever published? Where did you obtain those pages?

There are a number of anomalies regarding names and ages on the pages - but before we spend hours on the project of trying to identify a number of children, some of which have never been shown before, the SOURCE of the images would be appreciated.

same book, different cover:

AMAZON

In this revealing and beautifully written memoir, Mark Obama Ndesandjo, recounts his complex relationship with his older half-brother, President Barack Obama, including their first meeting in Kenya over twenty years ago. The book also offers the author's inspiring personal story about identity and multiculturalism. Rare family photos add to the book's personal nature as does the intense recounting of domestic violence in the home of Barack Obama Sr.’s and his third wife, Ruth Baker, Mark’s Jewish-American mother. blah blah blah

Promoting the book in Israel

Meet Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, the China-based son of Barack Sr.’s third wife. A dream about the biblical Daniel prompted him to reconnect with the president

The book was published in 2014.

I have a copy, and scanned in the pages with the pictures #19 to #25).

The other pix (#1 through #18) are from web sites.
