I know very little about the Sierra Leone Civil War beyond what I watched in a few documentaries, and read online.... But does the RUF even have a real ideology beyond paying lip service to generic populist rhetoric on fighting the corrupted government, and giving power back to the people? They strike me as the type of group that, if they managed to take power, will just be more or less 'more of the same', and focus on lining their own pockets at the people's expense.
 
IMO - Whatever regime they set up (likely an Oligarchical Kleptocracy) lasts for several years before collapsing from infighting. Which would suck alot as Sierra Leone gets thrown into another Civil War between various warlords. Essentially a West African Somalia.

Possibly America/NATO/a UN peacekeeping force/a coalition of various African states intervening.
