Not fake. :)
The question is why would Obama Sr. travel to Zanzibar to have his child? And not have his child in either his own country or his wife's country?
That's what seems fake about it to me. Someone made this up with Mombasa as the birthplace because that's been the rumor going around for the past year or so. But this new (to me) information about Mombasa not even being part of Kenya when Obama was born makes it seem extremely unlikely that he was born there.
That question is impossible to answer without knowing a lot more about the places and the times. Sometimes women travel to hospitals to give birth because they have better care (perhaps American doctors?). Or, she may have been visiting someone in the area and went into labor when she was not expecting to. It’s hard to say, but that in and of itself doesn’t seem particularly damning.
Was Mombasa a sea port?
Perhaps they traveled by boat rather than plane and she went into labor before she could get home.
(I ask from ignorance here...just thinking aloud)

Notice the document does not say Mombasa, Kenya - Just says he was born in Mombasa. That hospital may be where many Kenyans are birthed. I don’t know.
I think that a check of the book and page of the register is in order - then let the chips fall where they may!
Better yet - Mr. President - Stand and Deliver! Paperwork please.....
We just can’t let it distract us - we need to multi-task. Protest at town hall meetings, call, write, and continue to demand the documents - WE can walk and chew gum at the same time. Keep pluggin along...
