Countries that border Chad

6 land neighbours: Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Libya, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.

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, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Algeria, Ethiopia, Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, South Sudan and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Niger and Sudan are joint most connected of them, with 7 land borders each. All of them are on the Africa map with Chad, and on the world map with everyone else.
