Political Trouble Brewing

There's trouble in the land of the eternal sky. Unfortunately, I don't have time to cover it. But a few other great blogs are, including Mongolian Matters and ….yuu bna? Some background may be found at Chris Miller's blog. Registan has a roundup plus a string of comments. Perhaps most informative is Tom Terry's blog, where Tom is liveblogging the situation.


There are also a few news sites that are devoting a lot of coverage to it, including Mongolia Web
and The UB Post. Lastly, here are a few news stories that came to me through Inside World:
