An excellent effort, although photographs of Sir Ali from the 1920s and 1930s (e.g., with British colonial officials in Mombasa or opening schools he endowed in Nairobi) and his portrait in the National Museum of Oman in Muscat show a man with darker skin which would be expected of a man with Arabic as well as Swahili (Kenyan) heritage.
