Capital of Java rose after an earthquake (8)
I believe the answer is:
sarajevo
'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina)
'java rose after an earthquake' is the wordplay.
'after an earthquake' indicates anagramming the letters.
'java'+'rose'='javarose'
'javarose' is an anagram of 'SARAJEVO'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for sarajevo that I've seen before include "Capital of Bosnia and Herzogovina" , "war-torn city" , "Largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina" , "Place" , "Capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina" .)
