Yes I'm not sure, only in the sense that I've seen what happens when you kill a dictator and try to replace it with 'democracy.'
Everyone swoops in, hires some armed forces to get the natural resources they need and then leaves. The population is left to fend themselves and are usually governed for decades by the stronger mostly extremist government party. By the time they revolt, they get beat down again and again, until they just give up and the country descends into another humanitarian crisis.
It just sets them back for decades. That's all.
