| Barack Obama is pictured here in Kenya in 2006 with the Maasai. |
Barack Obama will make a long-awaited trip to Kenya in July this year, visiting his father's homeland for the first time since becoming U.S president, the White House announced today.
During the visit, Obama will attend a Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the east African nation.
Obama's father went to the United States from Kenya for school, where he met Obama's mother Ann Dunham. The couple divorced when the younger Obama was two years old and Barack Obama, Sr. returned to his home country.
America's first black president last visited Kenya in 2006, when he was a U.S. senator. His familial ties to the country and political scandals there have made a presidential visit more complicated and highly anticipated.
