West African country, capital Dakar (7)

I believe the answer is:

senegal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'west african country' is the first definition.
(country in West Africa)

'capital dakar' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Land" , "West African country" , "Republic in northwestern Africa" , "Former French colony in Africa" , "Nel ages here in Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
