The Akazu (Kinyarwanda / Kirundi: little house) was an informal organization of Hutus with its basis on the former Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and his influential wife Agathe Habyarimana, whose members, among others, are generally understood to be responsible for the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
The Akazu were Habyarimana's relatives and others from his district; they held important positions of authority in the Hutu regime. The Akazu did not wish to share government with the Tutsis (particularly the expatriate rebels resident in Uganda), or even other Hutus. Their crimes against humanity were a means to maintain their establishment.
