Countries that border Eritrea
3 land neighbours: Djibouti, Ethiopia and Sudan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
3 neighbours to keep in the right order.
29 countries in Africa have more than its 3 land borders; it is the same as Burundi, Botswana, Djibouti, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mauritania, Malawi, Somalia and Togo. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 2 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Sudan is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Eritrea, and on the world map with everyone else.
