Alas, I fear that the most likely scenario is:
Will it be a case of 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss' where another strong character rises to leadership after some election is sponsored by the US, the UN, or other multinational body of do-gooders takes place and puts the wrong guy in charge?
And, of course, the 'true colours' of said New Boss will take a while to show up. Even a New Boss with good intentions is going to inherit an infrastructure of administration that is systematically corrupt. It will take super-human powers for any new leader to avoid the convenience of making the new rules stick "Because I said so!", and starting the whole cycle anew.
