His name is George Hussein Obama and his half-brother is Barack Hussein Obama, Kenya’s most famous son, the first black President of the U.S. and the most powerful man in the world. George Hussein Obama, the half-brother of the most famous man in the world, pictured in the Nairobi slum he calls home.
The two men may share the same father, but while Barack Obama was born in Hawaii to his father’s American second wife, George was born in Kenya and the product of Obama Senior’s fourth marriage.
Today, while Barack entertains at the White House, flies aboard Air Force One and is a friend of film stars and royalty, George, 30, is to be found slumped in his corrugated iron shack which even fellow slum-dwellers regard as a hovel.
Details of his unorthodox lifestyle emerged with news that he has agreed to appear in a documentary film being made by one of Barack Obama’s most trenchant critics…
Called ‘2016,’ and directed by the production team behind ‘Schindler’s List,’ the film sets out the supposed horrors of another four years of Obama in office — though George does not criticise the President on screen.
It is the idea of US author Dinesh D’Souza, whose book ‘The Roots Of Obama’s Rage’ paints a deeply unflattering portrait of the “narcissistic” President. George has also written a memoir, called ‘Homeland’.
Published in 2012, it details how he turned his back on a middle-class Kenyan upbringing to live among the desperately poor in Nairobi’s infamous slums.
The book’s precis says: “George chooses to live in the Nairobi ghetto, where he works to help the ghetto-dwellers, and especially the slum kids, overcome the challenges surrounding their lives.”
George says in the book: “My brother has risen to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world. Here in Kenya, my aim is to be a leader among the poorest people on Earth: those who live in the slums.”
In what sounds like the script for a Hollywood film, he claims to have been the driving force behind the transformation of a slum football team into one of the top sides in Kenya, known as “Obama’s champs.”
