Why this one is hard

6 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.

6 countries in Africa have more than its 6 land borders; it is the same as Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Algeria, Ethiopia, Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, South Sudan, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with the Central African Republic, and on the world map with everyone else.
