== After the genocide ==

Agathe remained in France until 1995, when she moved to her ally [[Mobutu Sese Seko]]'s residence in Gbadolite. Fearing Mobutu being overthrown in 1997, she moved to Libreville, Gabon, and then eventually went back to France, where she was arrested in 2010. ~~It's unknown what's happened to her since, but she~~'s unlikely to face any consequences from Rwanda, as a French court has denied to extradite her back there.

She's unlikely to face any consequences from Rwanda, as a French court has denied to extradite her back there. In 2017 Habyarimana appeared on VRT(Flemish Public Broadcasting) along with her son Jean-Luc, and denied her involvement. It is otherwise not known if she is still facing possible punishment, though Emmanuel Macron's proposal for France to make April 7, the first full day of the genocide, a remembrance day,as well as an investigation into French involvement, may indicate France has a renewed interest in pursuing her and other ringleaders they have harbored.

* She's not to be confused with Agathe Uwilingiyimana, Prime Minister of Rwanda during the civil war. Ironically, they're polar opposites; Uwilingiyimana was a moderate.

* She's not to be confused with Agathe Uwilingiyimana, Prime Minister of Rwanda during the civil war. Ironically, they're polar opposites; Uwilingiyimana was a moderate, and declassified documents show that Habyarimana may have ordered her death.

* Some who blame the shootdown of her husband's plane on the Rwandan military believe [[Théoneste Bagosora]], her right-hand man, ordered the strike.

* Agathe is similar to [[Adolf Eichmann]], another genocide planner. Although, Eichmann admitted to his crimes, whereas Habyarimana claimed she had no idea there was any genocide against the Tutsi.
