Abu Dhabi, for example, angry after Middle East uprising (7)
I believe the answer is:
emirate
'abu dhabi for example' is the definition.
'angry after middle east uprising' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'irate' ('irate' can be similar in meaning to 'angry').
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'middle east' becomes 'me'.
'uprising' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'me' reversed gives 'em'.
'irate' after 'em' is 'EMIRATE'.
(Other definitions for emirate that I've seen before include "Arab territory" , "Go abroad" , "foreign government" , "state of Middle East?" , "An Arabian state, perhaps" .)
