| The Late Yasser Arafat |
Something in a form of
a story caught my attention in our world today. I couldn't help but to discuss it
with friends and colleagues. It’s about the exhumation of the late Palestinians
President Yasser Arafat’s mortal remains. Arafat died in 2004 after short
ailment in France’s military hospital. To the shock of the world, no autopsy
was perfumed on him, a whole Head of State but his body flown to Ramallah, the
capital for burial. Shortly after this, rumors had it that he was poisoned when
traces of radioactive polonium was found in his preliminary specimens from
stains of his urine, tooth brush, hair etc. What is also more interesting is
that, it was believed that it was Israel who poisoned him and I wonder why this
case was left to sleep for eight years until his exhumation today to take some
sample of his remains for major studies to confirm if polonium was the true cause
of his death. According to Aljazeera, a well acclaimed international news
network in the Middle East, there was a team of international scientist at Palestine
to take the samples. These scientists were said to have come from France,
Switzerland, and Russia. So that means it is a serious issue. Talking about
seriousness I could never imagine this exhumation exercise if it was a light
transient issue. I wonder what will happen after the studies. God help us as we
journey in this evil world of ours. Arafat was a good man whose sole goal was
to bring peace between his country and others like Israel in the region.
I just think it was
interesting to write this after having studied nuclear radiation and even gave
a presentation sometimes ago on the topic. I wonder what happened to nuclear
half-life considering polonium not having that longer a lifespan before it decay. Eight
years is a heck of a long time and the man needed to rest in peace but suddenly all these international attention. Anyways, this is what made me choose the topic headline; ''Late Arafat’s recall to our troublesome world''.
I also know his wife has
been a stout supporter of this whole issue. If you find a strong willed woman,man forget it she will always have your back even when you are dead and gone.
Peace to the world.
Yours humble Pal,
Ronald!
