Retire in disorder near a location in North Africa (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eritrea

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

'location in north africa' is the definition.
'Eritrea' can be an answer for 'location' (Eritrea is an example). I'm not sure about the 'in north africa' bit.

'retire in disorder near a' is the wordplay.
'in disorder' indicates anagramming the letters.
'near' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'retire' anagrammed gives 'eritre'.
'eritre'+'a'='ERITREA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eritrea that I've seen before include "It declared its independence from Ethiopia in 1993" , "NE African state" , "Province of Ethiopia on the Red Sea" , "Eire art found in Africa" , "Country in the Horn of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
