Countries that border Ethiopia
6 land neighbours: Djibouti, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan 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, 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. Sudan is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Ethiopia, and on the world map with everyone else.

Where Ethiopia costs people points
South Sudan and Sudan
Both border Ethiopia, and a player who knows the shape can still put one where the other goes. South Sudan's capital is Juba; Sudan's is Khartoum.
