'people' is the definition.
(people from Angola)

'long to be muddled alternative answers accommodate that' is the wordplay.
'long' becomes 'l'.
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'be' becomes 'go' (going is a kind of being).
'muddled alternative answers' becomes 'anans' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'accommodate that' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are brought in or accommodated).
'l' put after 'go' is 'gol'.
'gol' placed inside 'anans' is 'ANGOLANS'.
