Created debt Africa is suffering (10)
I believe the answer is:
fabricated
'created' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'debt africa is suffering' is the wordplay.
'is suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'debt'+'africa'='debtafrica'
'debtafrica' anagrammed gives 'FABRICATED'.
(Other definitions for fabricated that I've seen before include "Constructed; invented" , "Made" , "cooked up?" .)
