Naizghi Kiflu (Ge'ez: ናየዝጊ ክፍሉ nāyʾizgī kiflū, Tigrinya "Of the Lord," "His part") was an adviser on Local Government Affairs to President Isaias Afewerki of Eritrea.[1] He was living in London, England due to the dialysis he needs for his kidneys but eventually died of the disease.[2] He came to England in 2005 with the intention of becoming an ambassador, and later was investigated by British police for suspicion of crimes against humanity.[3] His body was believed to be forbidden to enter Eritrea by President Isaias Afwerki, since he had personality clash with him.[2]
