Country lady getting behind Romeo (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rwanda

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

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Rwanda is a country)

'lady getting behind romeo' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'lady' could be 'wanda' and 'wanda' is present in the answer.
'romeo' could be 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'r' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "Scene of a genocide in 1994" , "Kigali's country" , "Hutu and Tutsi country" , "African state" , "Language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
