The Same reason he gave Britian Churchill’s bust back.From October 1952 to December 1959, Kenya was under a state of emergency arising from the Mau Mau rebellion against British rule. The governor requested and obtained British and African troops, including the King’s African Rifles. The British began counter-insurgency operations; in May 1953 General Sir George Erskine took charge as commander-in-chief of the colony’s armed forces in May 1953, with the personal backing of Winston Churchill.[27]

Don't forget the reason that Great Britain colonized Kenya in the first place: to force a recalcitrant country to give up the slave trade a generation after our Civil War ended.

It is likely that Obama's Daddy's ancestors (as much Arab as black, by the way), profited highly from the slave trade. Almost all descendants of former slaves in America trace their ancestry back to the countries along the west central coast.

Almost all of them were captured and sold into slavery by Muslim traders along Africa's east central coast, notably Kenya's Luo Tribe.
