drills

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

This might be a double definition.

'trains west african' is the first definition.
'drills' can be an answer for 'trains' (drilling is a kind of training). I am not sure about the 'west african' bit.

'baboons' is the second definition.
(drill is a kind of baboon)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drills that I've seen before include "Boring tools" , "Bores in army exercises" , "Potato rows" , "they bore" , "Tools with a sharp points for making holes" .)
