Arafat
I only found out 45 mins ago that he has died. I'm devastated and heartbroken - though I knew it was imminent, I held out hope that he'd somehow recover; he is such an integral part of Palestine and its struggle, how could anyone possibly replace him, or take over.
I've spent the last 45 mins reading through BBC News, so I should probably start working, or at least find something to do which resembles work. I've got Prensa Libre, the Guardian, Al Jazeera and the Jerusalem Post open for now to read during odd moments; I'll try to write something longer this evening.
But for now, I'm in shock and mourning...
