Bet been lost in Uganda City? (7)

I believe the answer is:

entebbe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'uganda city?' is the definition.
'entebbe' can be an answer for 'city?' (I have seen 'African city' mean 'entebbe' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'entebbe'). I'm unsure of the 'uganda' bit.

'bet been lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'bet'+'been'='betbeen'
'betbeen' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTEBBE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entebbe that I've seen before include "African city" , "Town in Uganda" , "Ugandan resort" , "Ugandan city, scene of ninteen seventy six plane hostage rescue" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
