Obama sibling writes about abusive father

GUANGZHOU: The half brother of US President Barack Obama, who has kept out of the limelight until now, launched a semi-autobiographical book yesterday and announced plans for a full autobiography.

His partly fictional novel is entitled Nairobi to Shenzhen.

Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, a resident of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, for the past seven years, said at a press conference in Guangzhou that his book is not about his famous sibling but his own life.
