Harriman told Washington about the wife of Habyarimana, Agathe Kanziga, who was flown to Paris by the French military from Kigali and now lived in Paris. Harriman wrote that based on information from Rwandans who knew this woman, since the assassination of her husband, the power in Rwanda of her Hutu extremist entourage had grown dramatically. Harriman was told that Agathe and members of her family were extremely hard-line and encouraged some of the most radical Hutu who argued the time had come to end for ever the Tutsi presence in Rwanda.
