What does Tom Mboya have to do with the city of Mombasa?

Isn't it time you started educating yourself?

Not that I mind but finding all these links assumes that you take the time to study them.

For one thing he settled a docker worker's strike there in 1955.

He was also powerful enough to come to America.

So your theory of “Why Mombasa?” is:

- Barack Sr. was close with Tom Mboya;
- Tom Mboya mediated a strike in Mombasa in 1955;
- Therefore, Barack Sr. made an undocumented trip to Kenya in 1961 to see Tom Mboya, then met Mboya in Mombasa rather than Nairobi, and his wife gave birth to his son while there.

How is this not just wild speculation?

Didn’t the doctor on the Kenyan birth certificate turn out to be Barak Sr.’s neighbor later on or something like that??

I always felt that the Mombasa story had some credibility because it was so unlikely. A fake story about Obama being born in Kenya would certainly be made up to be in Barak Sr.’s village or in Nairobi or some nearby city with a modern hospital. Also, Mombasa would be a convenient seaport for anyone traveling by ship. It was reported that Susan Blake had received a postcard from SAD that was sent from a ship.
