Benghazi's country (5)

I believe the answer is:

libya

(Other definitions for libya that I've seen before include "Country, capital Tripoli" , "Colonel Gadaffi's country" , "Country in N. Africa" , "Petroleum-rich African desert country" , "North African nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
