There’s been a lot of speculation on the Mombasa aspect.

There was a story Stanley was turned down from getting on a flight back to HI because she was too close to giving birth... If this is true and happened at the Mombasa airport, she may have checked into the hospital and gave birth there.

I suppose Mombasa could have been a last minute emergency, but if Obama’s grandmother (that is, Daddy Obama’s mother) was there, there must have been a bit of advance planning. I don’t know how hard or easy it was to travel around Kenya at that time, however, so who can say?

The question is what would she have been doing in Mombasa in the first place? It’s the other side of Kenya from Obama relatives.
