Red Sea country (7)
I believe the answer is:
eritrea
'red sea country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eritrea that I've seen before include "Country of northeast Africa" , "Province of Ethiopia on the Red Sea" , "State north of Ethiopia" , "Red Sea country, capital Asmara" , "It achieved independence from Ethiopia in 1993" .)
