The two groups considered joining their forces under a single command and mounting a unified campaign in the forthcoming elections. Nevertheless, many guerrillas have been killed in intramural gun fights between the rival factions.

Protested Brown: "I'm troubled ... that in a free society I have to convince an editor that I'm a bona fide candidate."
