    The state need not cease to exist. The same could have been said about post-WWII Germany yet it still exists today. I guess it would take a similar level of engagement, involvement and actions to resolve the current situation (hopefully minus the mistakes made along the way at that time).

      Germany was dissolved post-WWII, and reformed later. It’s also not a great example IMO, denazification in Germany was half-hearted and quickly abandoned, leaving many nazis in positions of power.

      Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial
