Many of the members were friends or relatives of [[Juvénal Habyarimana]] or [[Agathe Habyarimana|his wife]] and belonged to the ruling [[MRND]] party. They were often referred to as the Zero Network because they wanted a Rwanda with zero Tutsis. The word ''akazu'' is Kinyarwanda for "little house". ==History== The Akazu were relatives of Habyarimana's and others he knew from his Northern Rwanda district; they held important appointed positions of authority in the Hutu regime. The Akazu did not wish to share government with the Tutsis (particularly [[Paul Kagame]]'s rebels) or moderate Hutus. They contributed to the development of Hutu Power ideology and fanned resentment against the Tutsi during the early 1990's following the outbreak of the [[Civil War|civil war]]. Some scholars believe their [[genocide|genocidal]] ideology and massacres were an effort to hold on to the political power they had gathered since Habyarimana came to power in a military coup against the elected government. == Members == * [[Agathe Habyarimana]] (leader) * [[Protais Zigiranyriazo]] * [[Elie Sagatwa]] * [[Felicien Kabuga]] * [[Alphonse Higaniro]] {{Stub}} [[Category:List]] [[Category:Modern Villains]] [[Category:African Villains]] [[Category:Xenophobes]] [[Category:Mass Murderers]] [[Category:Genocidal]] [[Category:Organizations]] [[Category:Dissolved Organizations]] [[Category:Extremists]] [[Category:Terrorists]] [[Category:Government support]] [[Category:Teams]] [[Category:Rwanda]] [[Category:Misogynists]] [[Category:Misanthropes]] [[Category:Supremacists]]
