The<br />first is Rivals Friendship which is established on the basis<br />of an equality among the available resources between two<br />members, according to a coalition concept whether from a<br />common side interest or to ensure a nonhostile environment<br />at the least This is exemplified in a story told by Abo Heian<br />Al Tawhidi which will be discussed later in this paper(1).</p> ER -
