A man from Tiwi in Kwale County, identified as Hamisi, is appealing for assistance to reconnect with relatives he says he lost contact with many years ago after returning to Kenya.
Hamisi shared his story with this publication, describing years of separation, mental health challenges and the loss of personal documents that he believes could help him trace his family.
The claims made by Hamisi about his family relationships have not been independently verified by this publication.
Hamisi Says He Lived in France
According to Hamisi, he travelled to France as a teenager after developing a relationship with a young French woman he met in Kenya.
He alleges they later lived together and started a family before his life took an unexpected turn.
This publication has not been able to independently verify these claims through official records or other reliable sources.
Mental Health Challenges
Hamisi says he later developed severe mental health problems while living in France.
According to his account, the illness affected his behaviour and led to several confrontations with authorities.
He says he was eventually returned to Kenya, where his condition reportedly worsened.
Hamisi recalled that he would sometimes wander the streets while unwell before friends from an acrobatic group helped him seek treatment.
Lost Documents
Hamisi says one of his greatest challenges has been losing documents that he believes would have helped him reconnect with relatives abroad.
Without those records, he says it has become difficult to prove parts of his personal history or resume contact with family members.
He also says he has sought assistance from the French Embassy in Kenya but has not been able to obtain the help he was hoping for.
This publication has not independently confirmed his interactions with the embassy.
Appeal for Assistance
Hamisi is now appealing to anyone who may have information that could help him reconnect with relatives he believes are living in France.
He says his wish is simply to establish contact again after years of separation.
Because the claims regarding his family relationships have not been verified, this publication is not naming the individuals he claims are related to him as fact.
Importance of Verification
Stories involving family relationships, identity and parentage require careful verification through reliable documentation or confirmation from the individuals concerned.
This publication has not independently verified Hamisi’s account, and readers should understand that his statements represent his personal account of events.
Anyone with relevant information that can be independently verified is encouraged to contact the publication.
