Grizzlies to Africa

[Jon Skagfeld]

This post is a query mainly to Canadian MLUers, but who knows, perhaps in our global hookup someone else might have an answer.

About a year ago there was a media report that 100 Canadian AVGP "Grizzlies" (Mowag/Pirhana type, not WW2) were to be loaned out to an African country. (Namibia?) They were to be used for insurgency/terrorist/tribal/civil war/police action (pick one).

Since there was a media report about their leaving, I should have expected a media report upon their return.

I've tried my best to research Esprit de Corps, Royal Canadian Legion magazine and the Toronto Sun Pub Corp...all to no apparent avail.

Does anyone have any input about this?
