Smart tyrant abroad getting rid of leader of rebellion (5)
I believe the answer is:
natty
'smart' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for natty that I've seen before include "Flashily smart" , "Stylish" , "Smart, spruce" , "Stylishly dressed" , "Smartly dressed" .)
