Apparently the USMC and the Royal Marines are not the only ones who do amphibious assaults, African Union troops from Tanzania and Sudan along with government forces of the Comoros Islands invaded a breakaway island of the Comoros earlier today. Shockingly, it looks like they won. I guess not all third world thugs are tough guys!
