Fly endlessly around African country — and another one? (7)

I believe the answer is:

somalia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fly endlessly around african country' is the definition.
'Somalia' can be an answer for 'country' (Somalia is an example). I'm unsure of the 'fly endlessly around african' bit.

'another one?' is the wordplay.
'another' becomes 'somali' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'one?' becomes 'a'.
'somali'+'a'='SOMALIA'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for somalia that I've seen before include "Easternmost country of Africa" , "Eastern African state" , "East African country" , "Land" , "Mogadishu its capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
