Government Confusion

By Julian Dierkes

A bit of confusion in Mongolia at the moment regarding the state of the coalition government and the fate of L Oyun-Erdene as prime minister.

Last week, it was reported that a) the DP had been removed from government, and b) PM Oyun-Erdene would resign, be removed?

Yet, a week later and with some international reporting, some of which has engaged in the kind of idle personnel speculation that I decried in April, nothing concrete has happened. Mongolian media are generally not helping very much in providing concrete news.

I tried to offer my analysis to NPR’s The World on May 29, but suspect that that will be outdated relatively soon.
