'country' is the definition.
(Egypt is a country)

'trouble in heart of ghetto' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'gyp' (gyp can mean bodily pain or trouble).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'heart of' indicates the central letters.
The middle letters of 'ghetto' are 'et'.
'gyp' put into 'et' is 'EGYPT'.

'experiencing' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
