This could be a double definition.

'african country' is the first definition.
(country in Africa)

'spent money?' is the second definition.
'guinea' can be an answer for 'money?' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'spent' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guinea that I've seen before include "Old money and pig" , "One pound and fivepence" , "Former gold coin" , "one pound and five pence" , "West African country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
