A unit is ordered to somewhere in North Africa (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunisia

'to somewhere in north africa' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a unit is ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'unit'+'is'='aunitis'
'aunitis' anagrammed gives 'TUNISIA'.

(Other definitions for tunisia that I've seen before include "N African country in which ancient Carthage lies" , "Suit Ian to be in North African country" , "Country where Carthage is found" , "African republic on the Mediterranean coast" , "Country in North Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
