Ignorant article in Le Monde is about a conflict (7)
I believe the answer is:
unaware
'ignorant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article in le monde is about a conflict' is the wordplay.
'article in le monde' becomes 'une' (French indefinite article eg in Le Monde newspaper).
'is about' is an insertion indicator.
'conflict' becomes 'war' (war is a kind of conflict).
'a'+'war'='awar'
'une' enclosing 'awar' is 'UNAWARE'.
(Other definitions for unaware that I've seen before include "Not informed - ignorant (of)" , "Not knowing (of a situation or fact)" , "Innocent" , "Ignorant - unconscious" , "Not having knowledge or realisation" .)
