Mongolia celebrates centuries-old Naadam festival

Monday marks the start of the ancient Mongolian sport festival of Naadam, which features wrestling, archery and horse-racing.
The country is facing a number of challenges as a new democracy and an export-dependent economy.
But as Scott Heidler reports, these contemporary issues have had little impact on the all-important Naadam.

Mongols are a strong race with culture and history of fighting, respect!

[@devilschild9372]

their main purpose throughout the centuries was raiding, raping, looting, murdering anyone in their sight, no respect in that.

I am aware of that, how else do you not go extinct as a culture, by opening your doors to immigration and getting annihilated like... Sweden? Have fun
