That dark boy shows up in Kenya with Ruth and his father, he lived with them in Nairobi, he went to school (Ruth says he was a cousin whom the kenyan was paying to educate) he taught school in Uganda according to Malik, (who can't keep his muslim mind straight) he attended the funeral of his father according to members of the clan, and he went to university in Moscow, on a scholarship obtained through Oginga Odinga.
