Nation probing Afghan affairs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghana

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

'nation' is the definition.
(Ghana is an example)

'probing afghan affairs' is the wordplay.
'GHANA' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ghana that I've seen before include "W. African state" , "Hang a country in Africa" , "West African country, independent since 1957" , "African country, W. of Togo" , "part of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
