The Kenyan BC says Obama was born in Mombasa Kenya in 1961

Excerpt:
Mombasa remained a part of Zanzibar until 1963 when it was ceded to the newly independent state of Kenya.
Mombasa came under the control of the sultan of Zanzibar in 1840 and was leased to the British in 1895. From 1905 to 1907 it was the capital of the British East Africa Protectorate. In 1920 it became capital of the British Protectorate of Kenya.
Yes, Mombasa DID remain a technical land of Zanzibar until it ceded the city to Kenya when it declared independence. However Britain LEASED the 10 mile strip of land called the “Coast Province” (including Mombasa) for the “Dominion of Kenya”. So while the actual property was technically belonging to Zanzibar, they did not occupy that area and Kenya operated from the late 1800’s until they ceded the land in independence.
Also;
In June 1887 Barghash leased the northern section of his coastal strip .

Where does it say “Mombasa, Kenya”?
It only says “Mombasa”
The doc I'm looking at (post 52 and others) doesn't say "Mombasa Kenya." It just says "Mombasa."
