The Django ORM essentially maps one DB table to one Django model
class. Since, in your example, friends and enemies are two different
tables i.e. two different Django model classes, the above query is not
possibly using the Django Model API. However, you can execute this
query as well as other complex queries using by dropping in to raw
SQL.

See this for an example:
