A friend in Havana to some Miami government (5)
I believe the answer is:
amigo
'a friend' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some miami government' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'AMIGO' can be found hidden inside 'miami government'.
'in havana to' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amigo that I've seen before include "A Mexican pal" , "Foreign ally" , "Friend in Spanish-speaking area" , "Friend in Spanish-speaking areas" , "Hispanic friend" .)
