Berhane Abrehe was Eritrea's longest serving finance minister before falling out with the president.

Berhane Abrehe - a former Eritrean finance minister and fierce critic of the country's president - has died in prison, his family say.

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. Mr Berhane's fall-out with President Isaias began during the former's 12-year tenure as finance minister, in which he urged Mr Isaias for transparency on the country's budget. The budget is still inaccessible to the public today.Three years later he secretly wrote a two-volume book named My Country, and sent it abroad to be published.

In 2018, after Mr Berhane had published My Country, he was detained and imprisoned in an unknown location.One of Mr Berhane's sons, who was also detained during the same period as his mother, previously described his family's ordeal to the BBC.
