| Now maybe the overgrazing will be put to a halt for a while. And please stop giving aid money!!!! Most lines the pockets of the darga nar and never goes where it should. It also produces a халамж улс or nany-like dependence on foreign money. Why should a lazy herdsman put up hay when he knows he'll get money from bleeding heart foreigners? | lost | Six million heads of livestock died in Mongolia | 103 days |

| Four executives from mining giant Rio Tinto have been handed lengthy jail terms in China after being found guilty of bribery and stealing commercial secrets. The Shanghai court said the head of the companies iron ore-operations in China, Australian citizen Stern Hu, would serve 10 years. http://www.euronews.net/2010/03/29/rio-tinto-employees-get-long-jail-terms/ | mongoliaonline | Chinalco Talking To Rio Tinto On Mongolia Copper, Gold Project | 122 days |
| The article also noted that the announcement highlights the warming "between the two mining giants in the wake of Chinalco's failed $19.5 billion bid for equity in the Anglo-Australian miner last February and the arrest in China later last year of Rio Tinto executives on bribery and other charges. The current round of warming is playing out even as Rio Tinto employees go on trial in a Shanghai court."

| THE TWO HORSES OF GENGHIS KHAN (DIE ZWEI PFERDE DES DSCHINGIS KHAN) (Germany, 2009, 91 min.) Unlike any other song, Chingisiyn hoyor zagal (Genghis Khan’s Two Horses) recounts the tumultuous history of Mongolia. For singer Urna, this litany is also part of her identity, since she has promised her grandmother to bring back to the family a horse-shaped violin neck on which its lyrics are inscribed. This is the only part left of this typically Mongolian instrument, broken and then lost in the tumult of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Urna sets off to find this beloved instrument on a journey that is also a voyage of discovery of her own country and her roots. In her latest documentary, the filmmaker of The Story of the Weeping Camel follows Urna into the wild landscapes of Outer and Inner Mongolia. This unique film melodically blends realism against the gorgeous landscapes of Mongolia to create an artfully composed documentary in narrative style. Directed by Byambasuren Davaa. Produced by Beatrix Wesle and Byambasuren Davaa. http://events.nationalgeographic.com/events/films/2010/03/18/all-roads-events-_the-two-horses-ghengis-khan_/ | Tamir | The Two Horses Of Genghis Khan | 134 days |
| Report named Lamjaviin Gundalai a health minister, however, Sambuugiin Lambaa is the current health minister. Lambaa is blamed for “mismanagement and inadequate response to the H1N1 influenza” and the recent deaths of newborn at maternity houses that consequently lead to their closure. The report also failed to mention that the protesters demanded a resignation of another minister, Tsendiin Nyamdorj. The Minister of Justice and Home Affairs failed to take responsibility for many shootings and killings at border units during his term at the office. | Tamir | Mongolian protestors demand health minister resign | 140 days |

| Apparently, what was mistaken for space objects at first, were parts of the U.S. delivery rocket Delta-II that launched the military STSS Demo 1 & 2 satellites on Sept. 25, 2009 from Cape Canaveral station in Florida, the United States. According to a working group that investigated the crash site, the larger of the two objects was a liquid fuel tank and is marked with the serial number '02728.' | Tamir | Two objects reported crashed near Mongolian capital: UFO or engine parts? | 145 days |

| It is a vaccination doctatorship, but it came to an end ALLWAYS where the patients make confrontation against the doctors! The "donated" vaccines were refused by the patients here in europe: Everyone can do the same: http://www.spkpfh.de/Pathopractic_of_confrontation_against_vaccination_doctatorship.htm http://www.spkpfh.de/Criminal_charges_against_WHO_henchmen.htm: Spread the livesaving news and if you see a doctor, knock him down at once! P.S.: Another point which is very obvious: A vaccination campaign is perfect to get control over nomadic people.

| This week, international attention is focused on Mongolia as Ambassador Satnam Singh of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines visits to discuss Mongolia’s accession to the mine ban treaty. The Mine Ban Treaty, otherwise known as the Ottawa treaty, came into force in 1999. 156 countries are Party to the treaty, which has attached stigma to the use of landmines, and prompted a halt in the global trade of landmines and a drastic reduction in the number of countries that have productive capacities. For Mongolia, signing the treaty means joining the group of nations that recognise the suffering caused by landmines, mostly to innocent civilians. ‘It is Mongolia’s duty as a democratic nation,’ said Ambassador Singh, ‘to demonstrate to other nations – we feel the pain of your landmine victims.’ The costs of signing the treaty will be minimal for Mongolia, as the country is fortunate in having no minefields. Signing the treaty means Mongolia would have to destroy the small stockpile of mines that was inherited from the Soviet Union. The extent of the landmines’ shelf-life is unclear, and signing the treaty will open channels for international technical and financial assistance for destruction, according to Colonel John McBride, who visited Mongolia in April. Retention of the landmine stockpile does not give Mongolian any military advantage. Landmines are not a viable military resource, with most modern armies capable of crossing a minefield within a short time, making them an obsolete weapon in modern warfare. Even for a sparsely populated country like Mongolia, landmines offer little protection for long borders. Landmines have been shown to cause more suffering than military benefit. Every year, civilians account for 75-80 percent of casualties, according to estimates by Landmine Monitor. Laying landmines for military purposes could have devastating future social effects in a society where a significant proportion of the population maintains a nomadic lifestyle. In addition to the possibility of civilian casualties, minefields limit the productive use of grazing land, and deny means of communication. In October 2004, Mongolia had publicly declared the country’s intention to sign the treaty before the end of 2008. ‘If Mongolia is to sign before the treaty’s second review conference in November this year,’ noted Ambassador Singh, ‘the decision would be applauded by the international community, thereby enhancing Mongolia’s global standing and prestige.’ In 2004, Mongolia embarked on a ‘step-by-step’ process towards signing the international mine ban treaty. The process saw Mongolia release information about the nature of the country’s landmine stockpile, and invite international technical experts to provide advice about destroying Mongolia’s stockpile. While in Mongolia, Ambassador Singh will meet key government officials including the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Defense, the advisor to the President for Foreign Affairs, and the Chief of the General Staff. He will also meet with the Canadian Ambassador and the Swiss consul, who have shown interest in the landmine issue. | danyasterling | ICBL Ambassador Singh visit to Mongolia | 395 days |

| The Mongolian Railway Company is a joint venture between the Russian and Mongolian governments, and if the Russian side does not agree to something, the Mongolian side can’t force them to accept it, explained Batbold Sukhbaatar, Mongolia’s minister for foreign affairs and trade. Sukhbaatar spoke at an event June 8 at the Hudson Institute in Washington, "Mongolia’s Relations with Russia and China and its ’Third Neighbor’ Relations with the United States and Japan." So, it seems Mr. Putin, like he is doing to all other former Soviet vassel states, is putting stranglehold on Mongolian government. If he wants Oyu Tolgoi or Tavan Tolgoi, since the railway is going to both deposits, all he has to do is refuse to ship copper concentrate and coal from these deposits to any place other than to or through Russia. Am I the only sane person to see what is happening, or are other Mongolians in too deep in vodka to notice or care. | Honheree | MONGOLIA: RUSSIA NIXES US DEVELOPMENT FUNDS FOR ULAANBAATAR | 413 days |
