In 1967, his mother A Dunham parted ways with his Kenyan father whom she met while attending the University of Hawaii.

After the split, Dunham married an Indonesian and relocated with 6-year-old Obama to the nation’s capital, Jakarta.

Obama lived in Jakarta with his mom and step-dad throughout the period of their marriage, which was four years.

When they split in 1971, Obama was sent back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. However, his mother remained in Indonesia, studying indigenous craft industries in Yogyakarta.

Obama’s mom used the people of Yogyakarta as the case study for her PhD thesis “Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: surviving and thriving against all odds.”

Obama first returned to Indonesia as a president in 2010. He was accompanied only by his wife Michelle Obama.
