Take legal action about Europeans or Africans (8)
I believe the answer is:
sudanese
'africans' is the definition.
(people from Sudan)
'take legal action about europeans' is the wordplay.
'take legal action' becomes 'sue' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'europeans' becomes 'danes' (Danish people).
'sue' going around 'danes' is 'SUDANESE'.
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sudanese that I've seen before include "Bad danseuse from a northeastern African state" , "Sue Dean's a native of the African state" , "African inhabitants" , "From Khartoum, perhaps" , "Africans" .)
