Can't fully figure out clue (so may have wrong answer!) ...

Clue (24A) is: "European ignoring Asian or African leader" (7).

I have letters I - - - I - N, which suggests ITALIAN as a likely answer, but why? Or if not, what's the proper answer?

Hi times_addict,

This feels a tad contrived but it could be IBERIAN which is Siberian (Asian country) ignoring its first letter or Liberian (African country) etc.

I think you've hit it - the E in position 3 fits better than the A in the word crossing this one. Many thanks for that, Simon - it was driving me nuts!
