I believe Roy is “Malik Abongo”. I’ve just been checking and it appears his estimated birth year is 1958/1959.

Excerpt:
In Obama’s book Dreams of My Father, interestingly enough, he writes about meeting Malik as an adult: I checked into the cheapest room I could find and waited. At nine, I heard a knock. When I opened the door, I found a big man standing there with his hands in his pockets, an even-toothed grin breaking across his ebony face. Hey, brother, he said. Hows life? In the pictures I had of Roy, he was slender, dressed in African print, with an Afro, a goatee, a mustache. The man who embraced me now was much heavier, over two hundred pounds, I guessed, the flesh on his cheeks pressing out beneath a thick pair of glasses. The goatee was gone; the African shirt had been replaced by a gray sports coat, white shirt, and tie. Auma had been right, though; his resemblance to the Old Man was unnerving. Looking at my brother, I felt as if I were ten years old again.
It was later that Malik converted to Islam, Obama wrote in Dreams: The person who made me proudest of all, though, was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol. He still works at his accounting firm, but talks about moving back to Kenya once he has enough money.
Thanks! So there is no way "Malik" was a 10yr old brother of Obama in 1961 who supposedly came to Hawaii to help his father take Ann back to Kenya with him. That is if some still think the picture of Obama Sr and Ann at that very same airport is a wedding picture.
