You need to read that Rand report a little closer. When the UN left it did not leaven democracies in place, but dictators in most cases who were able to keep the peace for a while, but at what price to the people of those lands?
The current crisis in Africa is largely a UN failure, the UN has been in nearly every nation there that is currently in crisis at sometime or another.
