African national initially spotted on hilly Syrian region (7)
I believe the answer is:
angolan
This could be a double definition.
'african' is the first definition.
(Angolan is an example)
'national initially spotted on hilly syrian region' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angolan that I've seen before include "One from Luanda" , "Eg, native of Luanda" , "from Africa" , "Coming from a southwest African country" .)
