African — like this country in Africa (6)
I believe the answer is:
somali
'african' is the definition.
(Somali is an example)
'like this country in africa' is the wordplay.
'like this' becomes 'so' ('like so').
'country in africa' becomes 'Mali' (African nation).
'so'+'mali'='SOMALI'
(Other definitions for somali that I've seen before include "East African national" , "Eg, native of Mogadishu" , "native language" , "So Liam could be a man from NE Africa" , "North-east African" .)
