I watched the video with broken heart. Apparently, the late Araya was icon of courage and full of emotion to help human kind at most. He had good sense of human,passinate and dependable person.

In 1993, Araya helped establish the Tigray Development Association (TDA) in order to rehabilitate a region torn apart with a civil war of almost two decades. He stayed with the TDA for the following 10 years, serving as a Chairman of the Board.

He returned to Ethiopia two years after the ousting of a military regime that fought a rebel movement from his home, Tigray. Araya was born in 1947 in the small town where Prime Minister Meles Zenawi came from, Adwa, to his father Kegnazimach Zerihun Getahun and his mother Aster Ashel

All his life, Araya Zerihun was an invaluable advocate of the poor and a hard working visionary who left a very good life in the United States to work with his people back home, according to the accounts of many who came to know him...
