Desire to accept me into a country (5)
I believe the answer is:
yemen
'a country' is the definition.
(I know that Yemen is a country)
'desire to accept me' is the wordplay.
'desire' becomes 'yen' (yen can mean a longing or desire).
'to accept' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'yen' placed around 'me' is 'YEMEN'.
'into' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Enemy country in S Arabian peninsula" , "Republic by the Red Sea" , "Country between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden" , "Arabian country, capital Sanaa" , "nation" .)
