Colour revolution (sometimes called the coloured revolution) or color revolution is a term that was widely used by worldwide media to describe various related movements that developed in several societies in the former Soviet Union and the Balkans during the early 2000s. The term has also been applied to a number of revolutions elsewhere, including in the Middle East. Some observers[who?] have called the events a revolutionary wave, the origins of which can be traced back to the 1986 People Power Revolution (also known as the "Yellow Revolution") in the Philippines.
Participants in the colour revolutions have mostly used nonviolent resistance, also called civil resistance. Such methods as demonstrations, strikes and interventions have been intended protest against governments seen as corrupt and/or authoritarian, and to advocate democracy; and they have also created strong pressure for change. These movements generally adopted a specific colour or flower as their symbol. The colour revolutions are notable for the important role of foreign sponsorship, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and particularly student activists in organising creative non-violent resistance.
Such movements have had a measure of success, as for example in the former Yugoslavia's Bulldozer Revolution (2000); in Georgia's Rose Revolution (2003); and in Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2004). In most but not all cases, massive street protests followed disputed elections, or requests for fair elections, and led to the resignation or overthrow of leaders considered by their opponents to be authoritarian. Some events have been called "colour revolutions" but are different from the above cases in certain basic characteristics. Examples include Lebanon's Cedar Revolution (2005); and Kuwait's Blue Revolution (2005).
Government figures in Russia, such as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have stated that colour revolutions are a new form of warfare. President Putin said that Russia must prevent colour revolutions, "We see what tragic consequences the wave of so-called color revolutions led to. For us this is a lesson and a warning. We should do everything necessary so that nothing similar ever happens in Russia."
Carnation Revolution Portugal 25 April 1974 The revolution is associated with the colour carnation because carnations were worn.
Yellow Revolution Philippines 22 February 1986 25 February 1986 The 1986 People Power Revolution (also called the "EDSA" or the "Yellow" Revolution) in the Philippines was the first successful non-violent uprising in the contemporary period. It was a series of peaceful demonstrations against the government of then-President Ferdinand Marcos, that increased after the 1983 assassination of opposition Senator Benigno S. Aquino Jr. A contested snap election on 7 February 1986 and a call by the powerful local Catholic Church sparked mass demonstrations across Metro Manila from 22–25 February. The Revolution's iconic L-shaped Laban sign is derived from the Filipino term for People Power, "Lakás ng Bayan", whose acronym is "LABAN" ("fight"). The yellow-clad protesters, allied with the Armed Forces, ousted Marcos and installed Benigno's widow Corazón as the country's eleventh President, ushering in the present Fifth Republic.
Velvet Revolution Czechoslovakia 17 November 1989 29 December 1989 in 1989, a peaceful demonstration by students (mostly from Charles University) was attacked by the police – and in time contributed to the collapse of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
Bulldozer Revolution Yugoslavia 5 October 2000 The 'Bulldozer Revolution' in 2000, which led to the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević. These demonstrations are usually considered to be the first example of the peaceful revolutions which followed. However, the Serbians adopted an approach that had already been used in parliamentary elections in Bulgaria (1997), Slovakia (1998) and Croatia (2000), characterised by civic mobilisation through get-out-the-vote campaigns and unification of the political opposition. The nationwide protesters did not adopt a colour or a specific symbol; however, the slogan "Gotov je" (Serbian Cyrillic: Готов је, English: He is finished) did become an aftermath symbol celebrating the completion of the task. Despite the commonalities, many others refer to Georgia as the most definite beginning of the series of "colour revolutions". The demonstrations were supported by the youth movement Otpor!, some of whose members were involved in the later revolutions in other countries.
Rose Revolution Georgia 3 November 2003 23 November 2003 The Rose Revolution in Georgia, following the disputed 2003 election, led to the overthrow of Eduard Shevardnadze and replacing him with Mikhail Saakashvili after new elections were held in March 2004. The Rose Revolution was supported by the Kmara civic resistance movement.
Orange Revolution Ukraine 22 November 2004 23 January 2005 The Orange Revolution in Ukraine followed the disputed second round of the Ukrainian presidential election, 2004, leading to the annulment of the result and the repeat of the round – Leader of the Opposition Viktor Yushchenko was declared President, defeating Viktor Yanukovych. The Orange Revolution was supported by PORA.
Purple Revolution Iraq January 2005 Purple Revolution was a name first used by some hopeful commentators and later picked up by United States President George W. Bush to describe the coming of democracy to Iraq following the 2005 Iraqi legislative election and was intentionally used to draw the parallel with the Orange and Rose revolutions. However, the name "purple revolution" has not achieved widespread use in Iraq, the United States or elsewhere. The name comes from the colour that voters' index fingers were stained to prevent fraudulent multiple voting.
Tulip Revolution Kyrgyzstan 27 February 2005 11 April 2005 The Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan (also sometimes called the "Pink Revolution") was more violent than its predecessors and followed the disputed Kyrgyz parliamentary election, 2005. At the same time, it was more fragmented than previous "colour" revolutions. The protesters in different areas adopted the colours pink and yellow for their protests. This revolution was supported by youth resistance movement KelKel.
Cedar Revolution Lebanon 14 February 2005 27 April 2005 The Cedar Revolution in Lebanon between February and April 2005 followed not a disputed election, but rather the assassination of opposition leader Rafik Hariri in 2005. Also, instead of the annulment of an election, the people demanded an end to the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Nonetheless, some of its elements and some of the methods used in the protests have been similar enough that it is often considered and treated by the press and commentators as one of the series of "colour revolutions". The Cedar of Lebanon is the symbol of the country, and the revolution was named after it. The peaceful demonstrators used the colours white and red, which are found in the Lebanese flag. The protests led to the pullout of Syrian troops in April 2005, ending their nearly 30-year presence there, although Syria retains some influence in Lebanon.
Blue Revolution Kuwait March 2005 Blue Revolution was a term used by some Kuwaitis to refer to demonstrations in Kuwait in support of women's suffrage beginning in March 2005; it was named after the colour of the signs the protesters used. In May of that year the Kuwaiti government acceded to their demands, granting women the right to vote beginning in the 2007 parliamentary elections. Since there was no call for regime change, the so-called "blue revolution" cannot be categorised as a true colour revolution.
Jeans Revolution Belarus 19 March 2006 25 March 2006 In Belarus, there have been a number of protests against President Alexander Lukashenko, with participation from student group Zubr. One round of protests culminated on 25 March 2005; it was a self-declared attempt to emulate the Kyrgyzstan revolution, and involved over a thousand citizens. However, police severely suppressed it, arresting over 30 people and imprisoning opposition leader Mikhail Marinich.
A second, much larger, round of protests began almost a year later, on 19 March 2006, soon after the presidential election. Official results had Lukashenko winning with 83% of the vote; protesters claimed the results were achieved through fraud and voter intimidation, a charge echoed by many foreign governments. Protesters camped out in October Square in Minsk over the next week, calling variously for the resignation of Lukashenko, the installation of rival candidate Alaksandar Milinkievič, and new, fair elections.
The opposition originally used as a symbol the white-red-white former flag of Belarus; the movement has had significant connections with that in neighbouring Ukraine, and during the Orange Revolution some white-red-white flags were seen being waved in Kiev. During the 2006 protests some called it the "Jeans Revolution" or "Denim Revolution", blue jeans being considered a symbol for freedom. Some protesters cut up jeans into ribbons and hung them in public places. It is claimed that Zubr was responsible for coining the phrase.
Lukashenko has said in the past: "In our country, there will be no pink or orange, or even banana revolution." More recently he's said "They [the West] think that Belarus is ready for some 'orange' or, what is a rather frightening option, 'blue' or 'cornflower blue' revolution. Such 'blue' revolutions are the last thing we need". On 19 April 2005, he further commented: "All these coloured revolutions are pure and simple banditry."
Saffron Revolution Myanmar 15 August 2007 26 September 2007 In Burma (officially called Myanmar), a series of anti-government protests were referred to in the press as the Saffron Revolution after Buddhist monks (Theravada Buddhist monks normally wear the colour saffron) took the vanguard of the protests. A previous, student-led revolution, the 8888 Uprising on 8 August 1988, had similarities to the colour revolutions, but was violently repressed.
Grape Revolution Moldova 6 April 2009 12 April 2009 The opposition is reported to have hoped for and urged some kind of Orange revolution, similar to that in Ukraine, in the follow-up of the Moldovan parliamentary elections, 2005, while the Christian Democratic People's Party adopted orange for its colour in a clear reference to the events of Ukraine.
A name hypothesised for such an event was "Grape Revolution" because of the abundance of vineyards in the country; however, such a revolution failed to materialise after the governmental victory in the elections. Many reasons have been given for this, including a fractured opposition and the fact that the government had already co-opted many of the political positions that might have united the opposition (such as a perceived pro-European and anti-Russian stance). Also the elections themselves were declared fairer in the OSCE election monitoring reports than had been the case in other countries where similar revolutions occurred, even though the CIS monitoring mission strongly condemned them.
There was civil unrest all over Moldova following the 2009 Parliamentary election due to the opposition claiming that the communists had fixed the election. Eventually, the Alliance for European Integration created a governing coalition that pushed the Communist party into opposition.
Green Revolution Iran 13 June 2009 11 February 2010 Green Revolution is a term widely used to describe the 2009–2010 Iranian election protests. The protests began in 2009, several years after the main wave of colour revolutions, although like them it began due to a disputed election, the 2009 Iranian presidential election. Protesters adopted the colour green as their symbol because it had been the campaign colour of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, whom many protesters thought had won the elections. However Mousavi failed to show any credible evidence that he had won the election.
Jasmine Revolution Tunisia 18 December 2010 14 January 2011 Jasmine Revolution was a widely used term for the Tunisian Revolution. The Jasmine Revolution led to the exit of President Ben Ali from office and the beginning of the Arab Spring.
Lotus Revolution Egypt 25 January 2011 11 February 2011 Lotus Revolution was a term used by various western news sources to describe the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 that forced President Mubarak to step down in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring, which followed the Jasmine Revolution of Tunisia. Lotus is known as the flower representing resurrection, life and the sun of ancient Egypt. It is uncertain who gave the name, while columnist of Arabic press, Asharq Alawsat, and prominent Egyptian opposition leader Saad Eddin Ibrahim claimed to name it the Lotus Revolution. Lotus Revolution later became common on western news source such as CNN. Other names, such as White Revolution and Nile Revolution, are used but are minor terms compare to Lotus Revolution. The term Lotus Revolution is rarely, if ever, used in the Arab world..
Jasmine Revolution China 20 February 2011 20 March 2011 A call which first appeared on 17 February 2011 on the Chinese language site Boxun.com in the United States for a "Jasmine revolution" in the People's Republic of China and repeated on social networking sites in China resulted in blocking of internet searches for "jasmine" and a heavy police presence at designated sites for protest such as the McDonald's in central Beijing, one of the 13 designated protest sites, on 20 February 2011. A crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area. Boxun experienced a denial of service attack during this period and was inaccessible.
Many have cited the influence of the series of revolutions which occurred in Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989. A peaceful demonstration by students (mostly from Charles University) was attacked by the police – and in time contributed to the collapse of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Yet the roots of the pacifist floral imagery may go even further back to the non-violent Carnation Revolution of Portugal in the mid-1970s, which is associated with the colour carnation because carnations were worn, and the 1986 Yellow Revolution in the Philippines where demonstrators offered peace flowers to military personnel manning armoured tanks.
The first of these was Otpor! ("Resistance!") in Serbia, which was founded at Belgrade University in October 1998 and began protesting against Miloševic' during the Kosovo War. Most of them were already veterans of anti-Milošević demonstrations such as the 1996-97 protests and the 9 March 1991 protest. Many of its members were arrested or beaten by the police. Despite this, during the presidential campaign in September 2000, Otpor launched its "Gotov je" (He's finished) campaign that galvanised Serbian discontent with Miloševic' and resulted in his defeat.
Members of Otpor have inspired and trained members of related student movements including Kmara in Georgia, Pora in Ukraine, Zubr in Belarus and MJAFT! in Albania. These groups have been explicit and scrupulous in their practice of non-violent resistance as advocated and explained in Gene Sharp's writings. The massive protests that they have organised, which were essential to the successes in Serbia, Georgia and Ukraine, have been notable for their colourfulness and use of ridiculing humor in opposing authoritarian leaders.
According to Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Russian military leaders view the color revolutions as a "new US and European approach to warfare that focuses on creating destabilizing revolutions in other states as a means of serving their security interests at low cost and with minimal casualties."
Aram Karapetyan, leader of the New Times political party in Armenia, has declared his intention to start a "revolution from below" in April 2005, saying that the situation was different now that people had seen the developments in the CIS. He added that the Armenian revolution will be peaceful but not have a colour.
A number of movements were created in Azerbaijan in mid-2005, inspired by the examples of both Georgia and Ukraine. A youth group, calling itself Yox! (which means No!), declared its opposition to governmental corruption. The leader of Yox! said that unlike Pora or Kmara, he wants to change not just the leadership, but the entire system of governance in Azerbaijan. The Yox movement chose green as its colour.
The spearhead of Azerbaijan's attempted colour revolution was Yeni Fekir ("New Idea"), a youth group closely aligned with the Azadlig (Freedom) Bloc of opposition political parties. Along with groups such as Magam ("It's Time") and Dalga ("Wave"), Yeni Fekir deliberately adopted many of the tactics of the Georgian and Ukrainian colour revolution groups, even borrowing the colour orange from the Ukrainian revolution.
In November 2005 protesters took to the streets, waving orange flags and banners, to protest what they considered government fraud in recent parliamentary elections. The Azerbaijani colour revolution finally fizzled out with the police riot on 26 November, during which dozens of protesters were injured and perhaps hundreds teargassed and sprayed with water cannons.
In Belarus, there have been a number of protests against President Alexander Lukashenko, with participation from student group Zubr. One round of protests culminated on 25 March 2005; it was a self-declared attempt to emulate the Kyrgyzstan revolution, and involved over a thousand citizens. However, police severely suppressed it, arresting over 30 people and imprisoning opposition leader Mikhail Marinich.
In Burma (officially called Myanmar), a series of anti-government protests were referred to in the press as the Saffron Revolution after Buddhist monks (Theravada Buddhist monks normally wear the colour saffron) took the vanguard of the protests. A previous, student-led revolution, the 8888 Uprising on 8 August 1988, had similarities to the colour revolutions, but was violently repressed.
A call which first appeared on 17 February 2011 on the Chinese language site Boxun.com in the United States for a "Jasmine revolution" in the People's Republic of China and repeated on social networking sites in China resulted in blocking of internet searches for "jasmine" and a heavy police presence at designated sites for protest such as the McDonald's in central Beijing, one of the 13 designated protest sites, on 20 February 2011. A crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area. Boxun experienced a denial of service attack during this period and was inaccessible.
The opposition is reported to have hoped for and urged some kind of Orange revolution, similar to that in Ukraine, in the follow-up of the Moldovan parliamentary elections, 2005, while the Christian Democratic People's Party adopted orange for its colour in a clear reference to the events of Ukraine.
On 25 March 2005, activists wearing yellow scarves held protests in the capital city of Ulan Bator, disputing the results of the 2004 Mongolian parliamentary elections and calling for fresh elections. One of the chants heard in that protest was "Let's congratulate our Kyrgyz brothers for their revolutionary spirit. Let's free Mongolia of corruption."
An uprising commenced in Ulan Bator on 1 July 2008, with a peaceful meeting in protest of the election of 29 June. The results of these elections were (it was claimed by opposition political parties) corrupted by the Mongolian People's Party (MPRP). Approximately 30,000 people took part in the meeting. Afterwards, some of the protesters left the central square and moved to the HQ of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party - which they attacked and then burned down. A police station was also attacked. By the night rioters vandalised and then set fire to the Cultural Palace (which contained a theatre, museum and National art gallery). Cars torching, bank robberies and looting were reported. The organisations in the burning buildings were vandalised and looted. Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon against stone-throwing protesters. A 4-day state of emergency was installed, the capital has been placed under a 2200 to 0800 curfew, and alcohol sales banned, rioting not resumed. 5 people were shot dead by the police, dozens of teenagers were wounded from the police firearms and disabled and 800 people, including the leaders of the civil movements J. Batzandan, O. Magnai and B. Jargalsakhan, were arrested. International observers said 1 July general election was free and fair.
In 2007 the Lawyers' Movement started in Pakistan with the aim of restoration of deposed judges. However, within a month the movement took a turn and started working towards the goal of removing Pervez Musharraf from power.
The liberal opposition in Russia is represented by several parties and movements.
An active part of the opposition is the Oborona youth movement. Oborona claims that its aim is to provide free and honest elections and to establish in Russia a system with democratic political competition. This movement under leadership of Oleg Kozlovsky is one of the most active and radical ones and is represented in a number of Russian cities. The movement contributed with its activities recently during the elections of 8 September 2013 to the success of Navalny in Moscow and other opposition candidates in various regions and towns of Russia. The "oboronkis" also took part with other oppositional groups in protests against fraud in the Moscow mayoral elections.
Since 2012 protests it was Aleksei Navalny, who mobilized with support of the various and fractured oppositional parties and groups masses of young people against alleged repression and fraud of the Kremlin apparatus. After a strong campaign for the 8 September elections in Moscow and many regions the opposition had won remarkable successes. So Navalny reached in Moscow a second place with surprising 27% behind Kremlin-backed Sergei Sobyanin with 51%. In other regions oppositions candidates received ramrkable successes. So in the big industrial town Yekaterinburg In 2013 opposition candidate Yevgeny Roizman received the majority of votes and became the mayor of that town. The slow but gradual sequence of opposition successes reached by mass protests, election campaigns and other peaceful strategies has been recently called by observers and analysts as of Radio Free Europe "Tortoise Revolution" in contrast to the radical "rose" or "orange" ones the Kremlin tried to prevent.
The opposition in the Republic of Bashkortostan has held protests demanding that the federal authorities intervene to dismiss Murtaza Rakhimov from his position as president of the republic, accusing him of leading an "arbitrary, corrupt, and violent" regime. Airat Dilmukhametov, one of the opposition leaders, and leader of the Bashkir National Front, has said that the opposition movement has been inspired from the mass protests of Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. Another opposition leader, Marat Khaiyirulin, has said that if an Orange Revolution were to happen in Russia, it would begin in Bashkortostan.
In Uzbekistan, there has been longstanding opposition to President Islam Karimov, from liberals and Islamists. Following protests in 2005, security forces in Uzbekistan carried out the Andijan massacre that successfully halted country-wide demonstrations. These protests otherwise could have turned into colour revolution, according to many analysts.
The revolution in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan began in the largely ethnic Uzbek south, and received early support in the city of Osh. Nigora Hidoyatova, leader of the Free Peasants opposition party, has referred to the idea of a peasant revolt or 'Cotton Revolution'. She also said that her party is collaborating with the youth organisation Shiddat, and that she hopes it can evolve to an organisation similar to Kmara or Pora. Other nascent youth organisations in and for Uzbekistan include Bolga and the freeuzbek group.
Uzbekistan has also had an active Islamist movement, led by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, most notable for the 1999 Tashkent bombings, though the group was largely destroyed following the 2001 NATO invasion of Afghanistan.
When groups of young people protested the closure of Venezuela's RCTV television station in June 2007, president Hugo Chávez said that he believed the protests were organised by the West in an attempt to promote a "soft coup" like the revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia. Similarly, Chinese authorities claimed repeatedly in the state-run media that the 2014 Hong Kong protests, known as the Umbrella Revolution, was organised and controlled by the United States.
In July 2007, Iranian state television released footage of two Iranian-American prisoners, both of whom work for western NGOs, as part of a documentary called "In the Name of Democracy." The documentary purportedly discusses the colour revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia and accuses the United States of attempting to foment a similar ouster in Iran.
the imagery of a colour revolution has been adopted by various non-revolutionary electoral campaigns. The 'Purple Revolution' social media campaign of Naheed Nenshi catapulted his platform from 8% to become Calgary's 36th Mayor. The platform advocated city sustainability and to inspire the high voter turn out of 56%, particularly among young voters.
In 2015 a the NDP of Alberta earned a majority mandate and ended the 44-year-old dynasty of the Progressive Conservatives. During the campaign Rachel Notley's popularity gained momentum, and the news and NDP supporters referred to this phenomenon as the "Orange Crush" per the party's colour. NDP parodies of Orange flavored Crush soda logo became a popular meme on social media.

colour revolution (sometimes called the coloured revolution) or color revolution is a term that was widely used by worldwide media to describe various related movements that developed in several societies in the former soviet union and the balkans during the early 2000s. the term has also been applied to a number of revolutions elsewhere, including in the middle east. some observers[who?] have called the events a revolutionary wave, the origins of which can be traced back to the 1986 people power revolution (also known as the "yellow revolution") in the philippines.

lukashenko has said in the past: "in our country, there will be no pink or orange, or even banana revolution." more recently he's said "they [the west] think that belarus is ready for some 'orange' or, what is a rather frightening option, 'blue' or 'cornflower blue' revolution. such 'blue' revolutions are the last thing we need". on 19 april 2005, he further commented: "all these coloured revolutions are pure and simple banditry."
saffron revolution myanmar 15 august 2007 26 september 2007 in burma (officially called myanmar), a series of anti-government protests were referred to in the press as the saffron revolution after buddhist monks (theravada buddhist monks normally wear the colour saffron) took the vanguard of the protests. a previous, student-led revolution, the 8888 uprising on 8 august 1988, had similarities to the colour revolutions, but was violently repressed.
grape revolution moldova 6 april 2009 12 april 2009 the opposition is reported to have hoped for and urged some kind of orange revolution, similar to that in ukraine, in the follow-up of the moldovan parliamentary elections, 2005, while the christian democratic people's party adopted orange for its colour in a clear reference to the events of ukraine.
a name hypothesised for such an event was "grape revolution" because of the abundance of vineyards in the country; however, such a revolution failed to materialise after the governmental victory in the elections. many reasons have been given for this, including a fractured opposition and the fact that the government had already co-opted many of the political positions that might have united the opposition (such as a perceived pro-european and anti-russian stance). also the elections themselves were declared fairer in the osce election monitoring reports than had been the case in other countries where similar revolutions occurred, even though the cis monitoring mission strongly condemned them.
there was civil unrest all over moldova following the 2009 parliamentary election due to the opposition claiming that the communists had fixed the election. eventually, the alliance for european integration created a governing coalition that pushed the communist party into opposition.
green revolution iran 13 june 2009 11 february 2010 green revolution is a term widely used to describe the 2009–2010 iranian election protests. the protests began in 2009, several years after the main wave of colour revolutions, although like them it began due to a disputed election, the 2009 iranian presidential election. protesters adopted the colour green as their symbol because it had been the campaign colour of presidential candidate mir-hossein mousavi, whom many protesters thought had won the elections. however mousavi failed to show any credible evidence that he had won the election.
jasmine revolution tunisia 18 december 2010 14 january 2011 jasmine revolution was a widely used term for the tunisian revolution. the jasmine revolution led to the exit of president ben ali from office and the beginning of the arab spring.
lotus revolution egypt 25 january 2011 11 february 2011 lotus revolution was a term used by various western news sources to describe the egyptian revolution of 2011 that forced president mubarak to step down in 2011 as part of the arab spring, which followed the jasmine revolution of tunisia. lotus is known as the flower representing resurrection, life and the sun of ancient egypt. it is uncertain who gave the name, while columnist of arabic press, asharq alawsat, and prominent egyptian opposition leader saad eddin ibrahim claimed to name it the lotus revolution. lotus revolution later became common on western news source such as cnn. other names, such as white revolution and nile revolution, are used but are minor terms compare to lotus revolution. the term lotus revolution is rarely, if ever, used in the arab world..
jasmine revolution china 20 february 2011 20 march 2011 a call which first appeared on 17 february 2011 on the chinese language site boxun.com in the united states for a "jasmine revolution" in the people's republic of china and repeated on social networking sites in china resulted in blocking of internet searches for "jasmine" and a heavy police presence at designated sites for protest such as the mcdonald's in central beijing, one of the 13 designated protest sites, on 20 february 2011. a crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area. boxun experienced a denial of service attack during this period and was inaccessible.
many have cited the influence of the series of revolutions which occurred in central and eastern europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the velvet revolution in czechoslovakia in 1989. a peaceful demonstration by students (mostly from charles university) was attacked by the police – and in time contributed to the collapse of the communist regime in czechoslovakia. yet the roots of the pacifist floral imagery may go even further back to the non-violent carnation revolution of portugal in the mid-1970s, which is associated with the colour carnation because carnations were worn, and the 1986 yellow revolution in the philippines where demonstrators offered peace flowers to military personnel manning armoured tanks.
the first of these was otpor! ("resistance!") in serbia, which was founded at belgrade university in october 1998 and began protesting against miloševic' during the kosovo war. most of them were already veterans of anti-milošević demonstrations such as the 1996-97 protests and the 9 march 1991 protest. many of its members were arrested or beaten by the police. despite this, during the presidential campaign in september 2000, otpor launched its "gotov je" (he's finished) campaign that galvanised serbian discontent with miloševic' and resulted in his defeat.
members of otpor have inspired and trained members of related student movements including kmara in georgia, pora in ukraine, zubr in belarus and mjaft! in albania. these groups have been explicit and scrupulous in their practice of non-violent resistance as advocated and explained in gene sharp's writings. the massive protests that they have organised, which were essential to the successes in serbia, georgia and ukraine, have been notable for their colourfulness and use of ridiculing humor in opposing authoritarian leaders.
according to anthony cordesman of the center for strategic and international studies, russian military leaders view the color revolutions as a "new us and european approach to warfare that focuses on creating destabilizing revolutions in other states as a means of serving their security interests at low cost and with minimal casualties."
aram karapetyan, leader of the new times political party in armenia, has declared his intention to start a "revolution from below" in april 2005, saying that the situation was different now that people had seen the developments in the cis. he added that the armenian revolution will be peaceful but not have a colour.
a number of movements were created in azerbaijan in mid-2005, inspired by the examples of both georgia and ukraine. a youth group, calling itself yox! (which means no!), declared its opposition to governmental corruption. the leader of yox! said that unlike pora or kmara, he wants to change not just the leadership, but the entire system of governance in azerbaijan. the yox movement chose green as its colour.
the spearhead of azerbaijan's attempted colour revolution was yeni fekir ("new idea"), a youth group closely aligned with the azadlig (freedom) bloc of opposition political parties. along with groups such as magam ("it's time") and dalga ("wave"), yeni fekir deliberately adopted many of the tactics of the georgian and ukrainian colour revolution groups, even borrowing the colour orange from the ukrainian revolution.
in november 2005 protesters took to the streets, waving orange flags and banners, to protest what they considered government fraud in recent parliamentary elections. the azerbaijani colour revolution finally fizzled out with the police riot on 26 november, during which dozens of protesters were injured and perhaps hundreds teargassed and sprayed with water cannons.
in belarus, there have been a number of protests against president alexander lukashenko, with participation from student group zubr. one round of protests culminated on 25 march 2005; it was a self-declared attempt to emulate the kyrgyzstan revolution, and involved over a thousand citizens. however, police severely suppressed it, arresting over 30 people and imprisoning opposition leader mikhail marinich.
in burma (officially called myanmar), a series of anti-government protests were referred to in the press as the saffron revolution after buddhist monks (theravada buddhist monks normally wear the colour saffron) took the vanguard of the protests. a previous, student-led revolution, the 8888 uprising on 8 august 1988, had similarities to the colour revolutions, but was violently repressed.
a call which first appeared on 17 february 2011 on the chinese language site boxun.com in the united states for a "jasmine revolution" in the people's republic of china and repeated on social networking sites in china resulted in blocking of internet searches for "jasmine" and a heavy police presence at designated sites for protest such as the mcdonald's in central beijing, one of the 13 designated protest sites, on 20 february 2011. a crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area. boxun experienced a denial of service attack during this period and was inaccessible.
the opposition is reported to have hoped for and urged some kind of orange revolution, similar to that in ukraine, in the follow-up of the moldovan parliamentary elections, 2005, while the christian democratic people's party adopted orange for its colour in a clear reference to the events of ukraine.
on 25 march 2005, activists wearing yellow scarves held protests in the capital city of ulan bator, disputing the results of the 2004 mongolian parliamentary elections and calling for fresh elections. one of the chants heard in that protest was "let's congratulate our kyrgyz brothers for their revolutionary spirit. let's free mongolia of corruption."
an uprising commenced in ulan bator on 1 july 2008, with a peaceful meeting in protest of the election of 29 june. the results of these elections were (it was claimed by opposition political parties) corrupted by the mongolian people's party (mprp). approximately 30,000 people took part in the meeting. afterwards, some of the protesters left the central square and moved to the hq of the mongolian people's revolutionary party - which they attacked and then burned down. a police station was also attacked. by the night rioters vandalised and then set fire to the cultural palace (which contained a theatre, museum and national art gallery). cars torching, bank robberies and looting were reported. the organisations in the burning buildings were vandalised and looted. police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon against stone-throwing protesters. a 4-day state of emergency was installed, the capital has been placed under a 2200 to 0800 curfew, and alcohol sales banned, rioting not resumed. 5 people were shot dead by the police, dozens of teenagers were wounded from the police firearms and disabled and 800 people, including the leaders of the civil movements j. batzandan, o. magnai and b. jargalsakhan, were arrested. international observers said 1 july general election was free and fair.
in 2007 the lawyers' movement started in pakistan with the aim of restoration of deposed judges. however, within a month the movement took a turn and started working towards the goal of removing pervez musharraf from power.
the liberal opposition in russia is represented by several parties and movements.
an active part of the opposition is the oborona youth movement. oborona claims that its aim is to provide free and honest elections and to establish in russia a system with democratic political competition. this movement under leadership of oleg kozlovsky is one of the most active and radical ones and is represented in a number of russian cities. the movement contributed with its activities recently during the elections of 8 september 2013 to the success of navalny in moscow and other opposition candidates in various regions and towns of russia. the "oboronkis" also took part with other oppositional groups in protests against fraud in the moscow mayoral elections.
since 2012 protests it was aleksei navalny, who mobilized with support of the various and fractured oppositional parties and groups masses of young people against alleged repression and fraud of the kremlin apparatus. after a strong campaign for the 8 september elections in moscow and many regions the opposition had won remarkable successes. so navalny reached in moscow a second place with surprising 27% behind kremlin-backed sergei sobyanin with 51%. in other regions oppositions candidates received ramrkable successes. so in the big industrial town yekaterinburg in 2013 opposition candidate yevgeny roizman received the majority of votes and became the mayor of that town. the slow but gradual sequence of opposition successes reached by mass protests, election campaigns and other peaceful strategies has been recently called by observers and analysts as of radio free europe "tortoise revolution" in contrast to the radical "rose" or "orange" ones the kremlin tried to prevent.
the opposition in the republic of bashkortostan has held protests demanding that the federal authorities intervene to dismiss murtaza rakhimov from his position as president of the republic, accusing him of leading an "arbitrary, corrupt, and violent" regime. airat dilmukhametov, one of the opposition leaders, and leader of the bashkir national front, has said that the opposition movement has been inspired from the mass protests of ukraine and kyrgyzstan. another opposition leader, marat khaiyirulin, has said that if an orange revolution were to happen in russia, it would begin in bashkortostan.
in uzbekistan, there has been longstanding opposition to president islam karimov, from liberals and islamists. following protests in 2005, security forces in uzbekistan carried out the andijan massacre that successfully halted country-wide demonstrations. these protests otherwise could have turned into colour revolution, according to many analysts.
the revolution in neighbouring kyrgyzstan began in the largely ethnic uzbek south, and received early support in the city of osh. nigora hidoyatova, leader of the free peasants opposition party, has referred to the idea of a peasant revolt or 'cotton revolution'. she also said that her party is collaborating with the youth organisation shiddat, and that she hopes it can evolve to an organisation similar to kmara or pora. other nascent youth organisations in and for uzbekistan include bolga and the freeuzbek group.
uzbekistan has also had an active islamist movement, led by the islamic movement of uzbekistan, most notable for the 1999 tashkent bombings, though the group was largely destroyed following the 2001 nato invasion of afghanistan.
when groups of young people protested the closure of venezuela's rctv television station in june 2007, president hugo chávez said that he believed the protests were organised by the west in an attempt to promote a "soft coup" like the revolutions in ukraine and georgia. similarly, chinese authorities claimed repeatedly in the state-run media that the 2014 hong kong protests, known as the umbrella revolution, was organised and controlled by the united states.
in july 2007, iranian state television released footage of two iranian-american prisoners, both of whom work for western ngos, as part of a documentary called "in the name of democracy." the documentary purportedly discusses the colour revolutions in ukraine and georgia and accuses the united states of attempting to foment a similar ouster in iran.
the imagery of a colour revolution has been adopted by various non-revolutionary electoral campaigns. the 'purple revolution' social media campaign of naheed nenshi catapulted his platform from 8% to become calgary's 36th mayor. the platform advocated city sustainability and to inspire the high voter turn out of 56%, particularly among young voters.
in 2015 a the ndp of alberta earned a majority mandate and ended the 44-year-old dynasty of the progressive conservatives. during the campaign rachel notley's popularity gained momentum, and the news and ndp supporters referred to this phenomenon as the "orange crush" per the party's colour. ndp parodies of orange flavored crush soda logo became a popular meme on social media.

I was wondering whether anyone had experience with getting tickets for the Zags @ BYU game. The few tickets that I can find now are up in the rafters. I'm not a member of the Bulldog Club. I just figured this would be a great week to schedule a ski trip to Park City, and it conveniently overlaps with the Zag show. If anyone has any helpful tips or past experience that they'd be able to share, that would be greatly appreciated! I'd love to be in attendance as the Zags shore up an undefeated WCC season, against the raucous crowd in Provo, no less.
Skiing in Utah is about as good as it gets.
Yes their fans were very annoying... probably the angriest group of people I've ever been around. They think every time a non-BYU player touches the ball it's a travel. Not exaggerating.
I guess it can get frustrating pretending your football/basketball programs are top notch when in reality they are both mediocre at best.
I just buy directly through their website, I believe tickets go on sale on 10/22. I go every year since I have family in the area, usually the seats are farther up but last year I was fortunate to get dead center about 15 rows up.
Away games are fun, especially when you are watching with 20k people who hate your guts.
For the last couple years now, the SLC Alumni Chapter has organized a pre-game social and busses from SLC down to Provo (about a 45 minute drive) and back after the game. Packages with game tickets, plus admission to the social and bus ride, should be available for purchase through the SLC Chapter soon.
The game tickets are not great (upper deck), but having been to these games several times, sitting with the group of Zags fans is far preferable than sitting in a sea of BYU'ers ... As has been mentioned above, that stadium is not a very friendly place.
I am pretty sure things got tense for Jakester and I one year, can't remember if it would have gotten physical or not? The seats were decent, too. Having lived with BYU fans for a long time, it's pretty much the way it is. I think more than anything, they expected to be Big 5 bound, and when reality hit, and they realized they weren't going to be the best in the conference, it created some extra cognitive fan dissonance.
Yeah I was involved in a couple nasty exchanges in Provo last year. It's easy to shut them down, though, when their basketball program is barely relevant. I would just say "you've been to one sweet 16 in the last 35 years" and they had a hard time turning it around on me. Never been exposed to a fanbase with less knowledge of the sport they're watching.

England's schools are beginning to use computers more in teaching - but teachers are making "slow progress" in learning about them, school inspectors have said.
Millions of pounds is being spent on putting computers into schools and on training - �657m over four years from 1998 for hardware and, more recently, �230m from the lottery for training.
But the inspectorate, Ofsted, has criticised the fragmentary nature of the funding and choice of services available.
It said this had meant individual schools, training organisations and local education authorities separately reinventing the wheel.
When the government announced its plans to encourage the wide use of information and communication technology (ICT) in schools in 1997, it set targets to be achieved by 2002.
Among these, teachers were to feel confident and be competent to teach using ICT across the curriculum.
Ofsted looked at what had happened in visits to 128 primary schools, 44 special schools, 401 secondary schools and 10 local education authorities (LEAs) between June 1999 and December last year.
It said there had been recent improvements in pupils' abilities in the information technology part of the curriculum - but that standards were still lower than in most subjects and varied widely.
The investment in hardware seemed to be paying off, with "emerging evidence" of a link between high standards across the curriculum and good ICT provision - but this varied from subject to subject.
Primary schools were using ICT more in their teaching, and things were slowly improving in secondary schools - but there was a weakness in special schools.
Oftsed said half of the secondary schools did not meet the national curriculum requirements for information technology - with teachers finding it hard to get access to the technology except for specific information technology courses.
LEAs had often underestimated the funding needed, with small support teams fully stretched trying to meet demand for support.
Smaller schools - including most primary schools - could not afford proper technical support.
The government computer agency Becta approved "managed services" offering a complete solution for schools' ICT needs, usually from private companies, but the take-up of these was low because they cost too much, Ofsted said.
Most teachers had not completed the training programmes. Only half had enrolled and most had not completed the training.
Computer use among those who had been on the courses had increased - but rarely their teaching expertise.
"The need for teachers to use their own time for training, together with the lack of information about the range of training programmes from which to choose, has hindered progress," said Ofsted's report.
In response, the Teacher Training Agency said training had been provided or arranged for three quarters of 415,000 eligible teachers and librarians in England and the rest had until March next year to sign up.
The Department for Education said take-up of computer training by teachers had been "unprecedented", with more than 250,000 now having started a course.
It had been decided that they should attend outside school hours so as to cause the minimum disruption to pupils, a spokeswoman said.
In a commentary on their findings, the inspectors said there had been a flexibility in the approach to getting ICT into schools - but this had led to a fragmentation of effort, "with training organisations, LEAs and schools independently seeking solutions to the same problems".
This was "in stark contrast" with the more uniform approach of the national literacy and numeracy strategies, they said.
Funding had also varied widely between schools.
Long-term planning was also a concern, as regards linking curriculum developments to staff competence and replacing out-of-date equipment.
Ofsted's chief inspector, Mike Tomlinson, said: "As can be seen, there are messages for all who have responsibilities for ICT, at any level, if the initiative is to have maximum impact on standards of work."

millions of pounds is being spent on putting computers into schools and on training - �657m over four years from 1998 for hardware and, more recently, �230m from the lottery for training.
but the inspectorate, ofsted, has criticised the fragmentary nature of the funding and choice of services available.
it said this had meant individual schools, training organisations and local education authorities separately reinventing the wheel.
when the government announced its plans to encourage the wide use of information and communication technology (ict) in schools in 1997, it set targets to be achieved by 2002.
among these, teachers were to feel confident and be competent to teach using ict across the curriculum.
ofsted looked at what had happened in visits to 128 primary schools, 44 special schools, 401 secondary schools and 10 local education authorities (leas) between june 1999 and december last year.
it said there had been recent improvements in pupils' abilities in the information technology part of the curriculum - but that standards were still lower than in most subjects and varied widely.
the investment in hardware seemed to be paying off, with "emerging evidence" of a link between high standards across the curriculum and good ict provision - but this varied from subject to subject.
primary schools were using ict more in their teaching, and things were slowly improving in secondary schools - but there was a weakness in special schools.
oftsed said half of the secondary schools did not meet the national curriculum requirements for information technology - with teachers finding it hard to get access to the technology except for specific information technology courses.
leas had often underestimated the funding needed, with small support teams fully stretched trying to meet demand for support.
smaller schools - including most primary schools - could not afford proper technical support.
the government computer agency becta approved "managed services" offering a complete solution for schools' ict needs, usually from private companies, but the take-up of these was low because they cost too much, ofsted said.
most teachers had not completed the training programmes. only half had enrolled and most had not completed the training.
computer use among those who had been on the courses had increased - but rarely their teaching expertise.
"the need for teachers to use their own time for training, together with the lack of information about the range of training programmes from which to choose, has hindered progress," said ofsted's report.
in response, the teacher training agency said training had been provided or arranged for three quarters of 415,000 eligible teachers and librarians in england and the rest had until march next year to sign up.
the department for education said take-up of computer training by teachers had been "unprecedented", with more than 250,000 now having started a course.
it had been decided that they should attend outside school hours so as to cause the minimum disruption to pupils, a spokeswoman said.
in a commentary on their findings, the inspectors said there had been a flexibility in the approach to getting ict into schools - but this had led to a fragmentation of effort, "with training organisations, leas and schools independently seeking solutions to the same problems".
this was "in stark contrast" with the more uniform approach of the national literacy and numeracy strategies, they said.
funding had also varied widely between schools.
long-term planning was also a concern, as regards linking curriculum developments to staff competence and replacing out-of-date equipment.
ofsted's chief inspector, mike tomlinson, said: "as can be seen, there are messages for all who have responsibilities for ict, at any level, if the initiative is to have maximum impact on standards of work."

We're very excited to make public our announcement that AcctTwo has acquired Leap the Pond. This is the joining of Sage Intacct's strongest partner for five years running with another one of Sage Intacct's top partners to better serve mid-market companies and nonprofit organizations. The acquisition represents two very similar cultures focused on customer success and providing cutting edge accounting and financial management technology as well as managed accounting services to organizations struggling with legacy systems, manual processes, and a lack of real-time visibility into financial and operational data. To learn more about the acquisition, read the press release.
What’s New in the Winter 2018 Release of Sage Intacct's SaaS Platform?
I’m excited to share that Sage Intacct has just launched the latest version of our award-winning cloud financial management software—Sage Intacct 2018 Release 4.
Complexity in our modern world is everywhere. Some might argue that Accounting and Finance have more than their fair share of it. We love simplicity, but we don’t want to be restricted. Sage Intacct was built to take the hard-to-do nature of accounting and make it simple. Over time, we’ve added capabilities to make it comprehensive, auditable and scalable.
Accountants have always relied on automation to make their lives easier, even going back as far as the abacus. But now thanks to data-driven technologies and self-directed processes, robotic process automation (RPA) is possible. And as a result of these new capabilities, accounting is transforming in a number of ways.
RPA is lowering costs, refining accounting insights, speeding up reporting, and eliminating errors and omissions. Where accountants really feel the impact of automation, however, is in their own workloads and schedules.
With new tax laws hitting the books, trade relationships evolving, and both uncertainty and optimism on the rise, it’s not surprising that accounting is changing. Companies understand that a high performing accounting function is both a strategic advantage and a competitive requirement. And, increasingly, they are looking for ways to improve accounting processes and outcomes without inflating cost or complexity.
A new survey from the Shared Services and Outsourcing Network (SSON) suggests that in-house accounting departments are transforming rapidly. Rather than handling every responsibility on their own, they are relying on third-party support or Managed Accounting Services (MAS) to meet more of their accounting goals.
With the 1099 season upon us, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you tackle all of your 1099 forms and reporting with Sage Intacct's Financial Management software.
