Country in Burma likeable, and in Panama liberated (4)
I believe the answer is:
mali
'country' is the definition.
(Mali is an example)
'in panama liberated' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'MALI' is hidden in the letters of 'panama liberated'.
'in burma likeable and' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mali that I've seen before include "Send mail out to Africa" , "W. African country" , "Land" , "part of Africa" , "Timbuktu is in this landlocked country" .)
