The Future of Mongolia’s Resources

“There have been many injured and even killed in these fights,” Damdinragehaa says. “Sometimes the mines even pay corrupt policemen to get involved and arrest the ninjas. Unfortunately, there is very little we can do about it since large corporations pay big sums to corrupt politicians. They never bother to touch the gold, but they are the ones who profit most from it,” he denounces. “If we want to make Mongolia a stronger nation, we definitely need to make sure that our vast mineral resources are well managed and used to prepare future generations for the challenges of a globalised world. Unfortunately, we are not there yet.” ag
