Country gaol in uproar after article (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angola

'country' is the definition.
(Angola is an example)

'gaol in uproar after article' is the wordplay.
'in uproar' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article**).
'gaol' with letters rearranged gives 'gola'.
'gola' after 'an' is 'ANGOLA'.

(Other definitions for angola that I've seen before include "SW African country" , "Republic of SW Africa" , "Country of south-western Africa" , "African country, former Portuguese colony" , "Country of SW Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
