| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to investigate the balance ? sheet of friendship/hostility between East African pastoral ethnic groups, paying due attention to micro-level personal relationships. In this area, relationships of inter-ethnic groups have been considered that they are divided into two types, as hostility/friendship which they raid their domestic animals mutually each other or not. This study clarified that these two types of relationship are not stable, rather than flexible according to contexts and situations. The interactive personal friendly relationship between individuals belonging to different ethic groups plays definitely important role on the ethnic group level.
