I am sure that the current AU mission for intervention in Africa will be noticed by few. The AU is currently planning an invasion of one of the Islands of Comoros. These islands are off the coast of Africa on the way to Madagascar. They were a former colony of France, which still controls one of the islands. It is a complicated geopolitical issue, as well as a complicated government system in place.
The issue that the AU is presently going to deal with is the removal of a leader of one of the islands. He has a military that is just as strong and as large as the government of Comoros. This caused them to ask for the AU to use their power to over throw the leader. Which the AU has accepted and will do with out assistance from another regional group or the UN. France will be watching and supporting to a degree, but that is because it is happening near their colony. The odd part that I saw was that there will be Sudanese military presence, about a third of the troops present. This appears to be a little weird, they are supporting democracy and protecting people in other countries, but they do not protect their own people in their own territory.
