求教~曼哈顿Ch10-odds&ends习题14中关于yet改错的解释看不太懂

14原句：
( Between)1998 and 2003, there was heavy fighting in Parthia(between)numerous armed factions（yet）this conflict, so much more complicated than a conventional war( between) two states, involved no(less)than eight countries and twenty-five militias.

改正句：
Between 1998 and 2003, there was heavy fighting in Parthia AMONG numerous armed factions; this conflict, so much more complicated than a conventional war between two states, involved no FEWER than eight countries and twenty-five militias.

其中关于拿掉YET的答案解释：
Yet should be a semicolon. Yet is illogical because the action in the second clause (this conflict ... militias) did not happen despite the action in the first clause (Between ... factions), as a word such as yet suggests.

它的意思是说“yet不合理是因为尽管有了第一分句中的行为但是第二分句中的行为并没有发生”么？请帮忙翻译下关于yet的这段答案解释。。。谢谢啊！！

yet的位置放的應該是semicolon
yet做conj，意思跟用法跟but相似。
不妨把句子的核心成份（去掉修飾語）翻譯一下：在98-03年之間，【雖然/儘管】p地有很多武裝衝突，【但是】這些這場紛爭牽涉到了不少於8個國家和25個民兵組織。

明顯上面的句子是沒有contrasting的意思的，所以用yet不恰當--->manhattan解釋就這意思哈

semicolon把前後主從句變成兩個獨立的句子，意思合理。
