'african capital' is the definition.
(capital of Ghana)

'in australian regular army two hundred' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'australian regular army' becomes 'ara' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'two hundred' becomes 'cc' (roman numerals).
'ara' placed around 'cc' is 'ACCRA'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accra that I've seen before include "West Africa capital" , "Ghanaian capital" , "Capital of Ghana, African fritter" , "Main city of Ghana" , "Ghanaian city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
