Controversial former Agustinate of International
Relations Dr. Martina Mazunta-Porunobari
Samothera has lost her battle with cancer
of the throat. She was 56.
Former AoIR loses battle with throat cancer
TIMIOCATO (LRO) -- In a development shocking to much of the diplomatic community, Pacitalia's outspoken former Agustinate of International Relations has died of throat cancer just one day before Reformato Felixas.
Dr. Martina Mazunta-Porunobari Samothera, who served as AoIR for only two months after many dogging controversies including the degeneration of formal Sarzo-Pacitalian ties, lost her battle with throat cancer just 47 days after resigning to confront the once-operable tumour in her larynx.
The cancer had originally been small enough to remove through a tracheotomic procedure, but days before the treatments were scheduled to begin, the cancer had started to spread to her lungs and stomach. The stomach tumour was particularly inoperable but doctors had expected her to live longer than she did. Samothera was reported to pass overnight; family members said she did not appear to suffer in her last hours alive.
Samothera was born on 10 September, 1949 in Cenogano-Pira, the second-largest city in Meritate province. Graduating with a 92% average from Coleggiato Secundario di San Gabriel in 1967, she went on to backpack Atlantian Oceania for one year and work two jobs for two years before moving on to complete degrees in Greek-Roman Civilisation (M.A.-GCiv., 1976) and Education (B.Ed., 1980).
Samothera taught Level 12 Early Civilisation History in her old secondary school for six years immediately after obtaining her bachelor's degree in education before taking a position as Junior Professor of Greek Civilisation starting in the fall of 1986. Nine years later, she was promoted to head the Greek and Roman Studies faculty.
However, on the advice of her friend, a policy advisor for the Antigonian Progressive Democrats, she entered study at the National University of Bantaspura for International Diplomacy and Politics, earning her third degree in April 2004. She returned to her position at the National University of Nortopalazzo a year ago this fall but decided to run in a byelection in her home constituency of Bantaspura-North, winning the race handily. Prime Minister Dr. Ell promoted her to Agustinate on 22 September, 2005.
Dr. Ell said, upon hearing of her death: "This was a woman of fire, passion and spirit, and although she took two nations down a mistaken path, she led her ministry with integrity, intelligence and charisma seemingly unmatched by others who filled that position in the past. She was an invaluable contributor to Pacitalian society and she will be greatly missed by all."
International tributes began pouring in Saturday after news of her death reached foreign governments.
