A former Eritrean finance minister and fierce critic of the country’s president, Berhane Abrehe, has died in prison, his family said yesterday.

The 79-year-old was Eritrea’s longest serving minister of finance, but he was removed from his role in 2012 following clashes with President Isaias Afwerki.

Six years later, he was jailed after releasing a book where he described the president as a “dictator” who needed to resign.

His family told the BBC that the authorities, who rarely confirm the deaths of senior officials in custody, had notified them of Mr Berhane’s death.

The government also rarely shares where the bodies are buried but Mr Berhane’s family have heard there is a plan to bury him in Asmara Patriots Cemetery. Only veterans of the Eritrean independence war, like Mr Berhane, or members of the national service can be buried there.

His body has not yet been released, his family said, and it is not clear when and exactly how Mr Berhane died. He was never brought before a court of law.

President Isaias has ruled the East African country, without holding national elections, since winning the independence war against Ethiopia in 1991.
