Reports have surfaced alleging the presence of an Indian Special Forces unit operating within Zimbabwe's gold and chemicals manufacturing sectors. This unit, reportedly enjoying unrestricted access to raw materials, has raised concerns due to their conspicuous activities.
While initially deployed to assist in Mozambique's insurgency-plagued Cabo Delgado region, the unit's presence in Zimbabwe has prompted more questions than answers. Operating as "Indian Special Forces," the unit utilizes vehicles with bold markings, further attracting attention.
NewZimbabwe.com has observed two distinct vehicles: a white Toyota GD6 (AGA 2524) and a grey Ford Ranger (AGE 2419), both emblazoned with "Indian Army, Special Forces" insignia. The Toyota features the slogan "We Dare The Impossible," and the Ford Ranger displays "We Are The Fearless."
There are indications that a former Cabinet minister from the Midlands province may be connected to this unit's operations. The unit's apparent unchecked authority within gold mining and chemicals manufacturing has raised concerns among local authorities and intelligence agencies.
Sources within the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) have revealed efforts to locate and seize the identified vehicles, demonstrating proactive efforts to address the situation. However, the unit's precise activities and goals in Zimbabwe remain unclear, leading to ongoing speculation.
