Countries that border Mali
7 land neighbours: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
7 neighbours, and 7 pairs of them border each other too.
2 countries in Africa have more than its 7 land borders; it is the same as Niger, Sudan and Zambia. Of the 21 possible pairings among them, 7 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Niger is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Mali, and on the world map with everyone else.
