African seen buffeted by winds close to village (10)
I believe the answer is:
senegalese
'african' is the definition.
(Senegalese is an example)
'seen buffeted by winds close to village' is the wordplay.
'buffeted' indicates an anagram.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'winds' becomes 'gales' (gale is a kind of wind**).
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'village' is 'e'.
'seen' is an anagram of 'sene'.
'sene'+'gales'+'e'='SENEGALESE'
(Other definitions for senegalese that I've seen before include "Relating to a West African country" , "from West Africa" .)
