By A Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Defence Forces had a press conference last night which however was not heeded by journalists.

This was likely because of fears and rumours of a military operation which could see journalists being assaulted the same way some were beaten up and their devices destroyed just before the November 2017 coup that eventually saw the removal of former president Robert Mugabe.

By the time of writing, it could not be established what it is that the military wanted to communicate to the nation and the world.

This came hours after ZimEye’s Simba Chikanza telephoned the military spokesman Col Overson Mugwisi over the arbitrary beatings by uniformed soldiers across the country as well as the shootings. Simba Chikanza addressing events on Sunday alone cited an incident in the capital city Harare at Robert Mugabe and 4th Street, another one in Ruwa at a place known as kwaGeorge, among many others. Simba Chikanza also queried with Col Mugwisi over his latest press conference with the Zimbabwe Republic Police where they alleged that they recovered police and military uniforms. How could they recover uniforms and fail to make even a single arrest, Chikanza queried. To this, Col Mugwisi did not give a reply. Chikanza also asked on why it is that there have not been any arrest of persons regarding ammunition only accessible by the military, at a time when only opposition members and other civilians have been arrested. To this Mugwisi did not give a reply. Simba Chikanza also repeated his question about the claim of military uniforms being stolen by civilians, he asked if the military also alleges that civilians stole helicopter. To this Mugwisi replied saying, is there anything wrong with military helicopters flying over?
