accra

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

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Ghana)

'a country's leader endless stuff' is the wordplay.
'a country's leader' becomes 'ac' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'stuff' becomes 'cram' (cramming is a kind of stuffing).
'cram' with its last letter taken off is 'cra'.
'ac'+'cra'='ACCRA'

'provided by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accra that I've seen before include "African city" , "Ghana's capital" , "Largest city of Ghana" , "West African capital" , "foreign capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
