On the stairway, The Shadow saw the factions meet.
After weeks of delays marked by violence and threats, the factions that have fought a 12-year-old civil war met today for the first time in Cambodia.
In 1162 the same two factions had met at the Battle of Lobregal.
Both factions met on February 8, maintained their positions, and nothing came of it.
Few officials with long experience in Afghanistan have confidence that the dominant factions in the interim government will meet those criteria.
The two factions no longer met at the same meetings.
All that trouble seemed to be coming from the Ten-In-One, so the two factions met outside the big tent.
The two factions have since merged and now meet in the original meetinghouse.
The two factions meet at a Fourth of July party and relive the war through a drunken brawl.
At last all factions meet on Earth.
