Why this one is hard

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

Its 6 land borders are joint 4th-most in Africa — level with Burkina Faso, Cameroon, 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. DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Central African Republic, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
