The question is what would she have been doing in Mombasa in the first place? It’s the other side of Kenya from Obama relatives.

She went to Mombasa to fly back to the U.S. but was prevented by the airlines from boarding her flight due to her advanced pregnancy and, shortly thereafter, gave birth in Mombasa?

Thats my thought as well....but was’nt his sister born in that hospital? I may be wrong.

IF the story about Stanley being booted from the flight is true, I guess we'd have to know the flight schedules from those days... Possibly she flew on a connecting flight from Nairobi to Mombasa, then would board a flight leaving Mombasa to the States, but was refused passage. Unfortunately I doubt flight schedules from the 60s are available now.

What, relatives can't move to the city? Friends can only live in a village. She can't go shopping or to the beach? She can't go sight seeing? If the story is correct about her not being allowed on a plane when she was close to term, maybe she tried getting home by ship and didn't make it on time. Heck, for that matter there could be any number of reasons she was in Mombasa. When she was with Lolo, she up and went elsewhere (don't want to slow down and look for the link but you can search) in Indonesia on her own. Remember, she was a free spirit hippy anti-establishment free love type of gal.
