When President Obama touches down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi Kenya on July 25th, five key foreign policy challenges await him in Kenya. First, Obama will be visiting the birth country of his father. This will give his critics valuable ammunition.
Obama's opponents from the right wing in America have long had the “birther” conspiracy. The idea that argues that he was not really born in America. Birthers contend that Obama was really born in Kenya and somehow managed to forge a birth certificate claiming he was born in Hawaii of a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya.
