An long-time icon while alive, Arafat has found a resting place right next to the presidential headquarters he spent his last years. Question is: will it be his last resting place?
From the busy Al-Manara square, the city centre of Ramallah, where many streets meet, you can walk to the seat of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), established at Al-Muqata'a. Soon after leaving the main square behind, the surroundings become more quiet. After a while, the surroundings open up; on the left, there is a view in the distance over the hills surrounding Ramallah, while on the right you see some buildings. Turn right, and you will find the mausoleum of Chairman Arafat, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, icon and long-time face of the Palestinian cause, controversial figure, who managed to survive a dangerous life but who, according to some, still died under suspicious circumstances in a Paris hospital in 2004.
