Rude contemporaries ignoring priest from this country (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cameroon

'this country' is the definition.
(I know that Cameroon is a country)

'rude contemporaries ignoring priest' is the wordplay.
'rude' is an anagram indicator.
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'contemporaries' with 'priest' taken out is 'conmoare'.
'conmoare' with letters rearranged gives 'CAMEROON'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cameroon that I've seen before include "O no, cream turns in the African country" , "Commonwealth country" , "Country bordering Nigeria" , "Moor can be found in west Africa" , "Can Romeo go to the West African state?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
