English work in Haiti destroyed country (8)
I believe the answer is:
ethiopia
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Ethiopia is or was a African country)
'english work in haiti destroyed' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'haiti' anagrammed gives 'thiia'.
'op' going into 'thiia' is 'thiopia'.
'e'+'thiopia'='ETHIOPIA'
(Other definitions for ethiopia that I've seen before include "Where Haile Selassie was once emperor" , "Former Abyssinia" , "Country once known as Abyssinia" , "Landlocked Afr. country" , "Largest country of the Horn of Africa" .)
