City conflict ends with weapon deployment (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
cape town
'city' is the definition.
(city in South Africa)
'conflict ends with weapon deployment' is the wordplay.
'ends' means to remove the middle letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'deployment' is an anagram indicator (letters deployed in a new way).
'conflict' with its centre removed is 'ct'.
'ct' after 'weapon' is 'weaponct'.
'weaponct' anagrammed gives 'CAPE TOWN'.
(Other definitions for cape town that I've seen before include "Port under Table Mountain" , "foreign city" , "South African city" , "Port city in South Africa" , "Oldest S Afr. city" .)
