It can be hard to judge age in Africans for me anyway, but Roman Obama Ekua looks to be a man in his late 30’s, not age 50+ which he would be if he was the same Roman Obama who was in Moscow. He does NOT appear to me to be mixed race.
Roman Obama Ekua appears to be currently stationed in Wash D.C. because he is listed as the Second Secretary at the embassy of his apparent native country on the embassy listing of the U.S. Office of the Chief of Protocol as of January 17, 2012:
