Countries that border South Sudan
6 land neighbours: the Central African Republic, the DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda. 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, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with South Sudan, and on the world map with everyone else.
