This picture taken on June 28, 2016 shows herder Shagdarjaviiu Batsargal, who works with herder Pagvajaviin Shatarbaatar, sleeping while watching two injured sheep in the Gobi desert near Luusiin. Mongolians went to the polls across their sprawling, sparsely-populated country on June 29 as it struggles to benefit from its vast natural resources amid disputes over foreign investment and slumping demand from neighbouring China. It took Mongolian nomad Pagvajaviin Shatarbaatar seven days to get to his polling station to vote in in the general election – accompanied by more than 2,000 sheep, goats and horses.
