Things are no less divisive in the President Barack
Obama precincts in the United States as they are across the Atlantic as
Election Day looms. President Obama’s relatives and others in his
ancestral village are angry that the president’s half-brother, Malik Obama, has
come out in support of Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, over
Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Local leaders and close relatives of Mr. Obama,
whose father was born in Kenya and who is seen as a source of immense national
pride, met to place a curse on Malik Obama. Threats of violence have been made
against the family apostate.
“We have decided to curse him,” said James Otieno, a
clan elder. “He is not one of us here because he is eating with the enemy. Why
can he disown Obama, who is respected around the globe? Obama’s presidency has
helped this village.”
Located near Lake Victoria and a seven-hour drive to
Nairobi, Kogelo is the birthplace of Mr. Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr.Mr.
Obama’s step-grandmother, 95-year-old Mama Sarah Obama, is the matriarch of an
extended family related to the president.
