George Hussein Onyango Obama (b. 1982) is the youngest of Barack Obama's half-brothers. They have five other half brothers (Roy (now known as Abong'o), Bernard, Abo, Mark and David) and a half sister (Auma).
"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine (Italy's Vanity Fair), before claiming: "I live here (Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya) on less than a dollar a month." [1]
During his 1987 visit to Kenya, Barack Obama met with him:
"I took comfort in the fact that perhaps one day, when he was older, George, too, might want to know who his father had been, and who his brothers and sisters were, and that if he ever came to me I would be there for him, to tell him the story I knew," Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father. [2]
George Obama does not seem particularly proud of his bother:
"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed."[3]
