State one’s earlier blunders (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
sierra leone
'state' is the definition.
(I know that Sierra Leone is African country)
'one's earlier blunders' is the wordplay.
'blunders' is an anagram indicator.
'ones'+'earlier'='onesearlier'
'onesearlier' with letters rearranged gives 'SIERRA LEONE'.
(Other definitions for sierra leone that I've seen before include "W. African republic" , "West African nation" , "West African country, capital Freetown" .)
