SITUATION IN CONTROL:Armed soldiers stand guard outside the destroyed headquarters of the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in Ulan Bator on July 3, after the deadly riots on July 1, which claimed five lives. In 1990, students and dissidents marched peacefully through Sukhbaatar Square in the centre of Mongolias capital, bringing down seven decades of communist rule without a shot being fired. This week, another group of young men and women marched again over to change the nation's political fate.
