Update with hints.

7.   Afghan struggle is resounding. (5)
hint1: Homophone
hint2: Find a synonym for "Afghan" that sounds like a synonym for "struggle"
hint3: The "struggle" in the clue can be associated with pain, but not necessarily so.
hint4: The "struggle" part is usually used as a plural. But its singular here.
