It just would not do for the "UN" troops to face not only an armed populace (Zaire, Somalia, etc) but one that can actually shoot! They have not met - let alone faced - folks who think of 600 yard shooting as warm ups and compete at 1000 yards or more.
I recall reading about contractors with a company called Executive Outcomes.
A small number of contractors reclaimed oil facilities in Angola that entire UN peacekeeping forces were unable to defend, let alone retake.
