Juvénal Habyarimana
Bagosora was born in the same northern region as Juvénal Habyarimana, the president of Rwanda from 1973 to 1994. He was linked to "le Clan de Madame", known later as the "akazu", a group associated with Agathe Habyarimana, the president's wife, who was at the nexus of the Hutu Power ideology.
