Somewhat more literally, Kenyans had an orange revolution of their own, rejecting a new consolidation of power by President Mwai Kibaki in a fair, democratic process. This represents significant progress in Kenya’s ongoing struggle over its freedom from corruption and pursuit of real democracy; the story I linked to has a good amount of detail.

Mr Kibaki has spent a large amount of political capital trying to push through what would have been the first major amendment of Kenya’s constitution since it won independence from Britain in 1963…

Mr Kibaki told the nation that any new effort to revise or replace the existing charter would take a backseat to development goals. “The time has come to direct our energy to development,” he said. “I urge that we continue to live together as a nation, this is what is we are proud of. God bless you and God bless Kenya.”

UPDATE: In a widely expected move, Kibaki has sacked the cabinet.
