African country, enclave of Somalia? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mali

'african country' is the definition.
(Mali is an example)

'enclave of somalia?' is the wordplay.
'enclave of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MALI' is hidden in the letters of 'somalia'.

(Other definitions for mali that I've seen before include "Indian gardener; African republic" , "Send mail out to Africa" , "African country, former French colony" , "African country, once French Sudan" , "African state's" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
