First person is going over law in this African country (6)
I believe the answer is:
malawi
'african country' is the definition.
(country in Africa)
'first person is going over law in' is the wordplay.
'first person' becomes 'iam' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is going over' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'iam' back-to-front is 'mai'.
'mai' going around 'law' is 'MALAWI'.
'this' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for malawi that I've seen before include "Former Nyasaland" , "Country formerly known as Nyasaland" , "It was Nyasaland under Britain" , "African country, capital Lilongwe" , "Landlocked African country" .)
