This year, Kyrgyzstan played host for the fourth time. More than 3,000 athletes and delegates from 106 countries participated across 40 sport disciplines, spread across nine different locations. Beginning in 2014 as a gathering of 19 countries, a grand ambition has long been part of it, both as as a unifying project for the region and a projection of soft power. The Games’ most famous and eye-catching event is kok-buru, a ferocious equestrian sport played with a goat carcass, but archery has long been a part of the nomadic cultures celebrated and was prominent in the buildup.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
