Color revolutions center around large mass demonstrations. The first phase is the confrontation. It takes place relatively peacefully. The authorities are simply concerned about the huge number of people in the city center.
Such a mass of people need to eat, sleep and go to the toilet. There are not enough toilets for all the protesters, and the protest area acquires the smell of human feces and urine.
To establish order, the authorities send ordinary, lightly armed police to the scene. The presence of law enforcement is also used to amplify protest sentiments among the crowd. Suddenly, there is a call for the construction of barricades and the seizure of government buildings.
The second phase is more active and involves slugging it out with authorities. By now, the authorities are simply obliged to respond to what is happening. The city center is paralyzed by barricades, buildings are seized and there is the obligatory window smashing and looting.
This, in turn, requires the authorities to employ special forces, or riot police. But what can the riot police do when there are several hundred thousand protesters? Within two or three days, riot police are falling down from exhaustion and lack of sleep.
In parallel with the confrontation, another phase is underway: exhortation. At this time, representatives of the โpeace-loving world communityโ begin to actively communicate with the president of the country.
A qualitative replacement of protesters takes place: tough, older men familiar with various tactics. These are usually not locals, but come in from outside. Every effort is made to provoke riot police to violent retaliatory actions. But the riot police are not easily provoked.
