Created debt Africa is suffering (10)

Ross

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?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
