African state university right to avoid old family man (6)
I believe the answer is:
uganda
'african state' is the definition.
(country in Africa)
'university right to avoid old family man' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'university' could be 'u' (abbreviation for university) and 'u' is found within the answer.
'man' could be 'gan' and 'gan' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'da' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uganda that I've seen before include "Country W. of Kenya" , "Kampala's nation" , "East African country, capital Kampala" , "African country once ruled by Idi Amin, capital Kampala" , "E. African country" .)
