Had you helpfully supplied the number of letters in each answer it would have been much easier for others to help. The only three which spring immediately to mind are:
4) Miami
7) Khartoum
8) Solomon Islands

[heathergod]

Unfortunately I don't have the number of letters in each answer otherwise I would have done so - this is not a crossword. Thank you though for your help mike 11111.

9. Rumania

[heathergod]

why Romania JMR 27

[JMR27]

a joey is another name for a kangaroo, which is often abbreviated to roo + mania (obsession)

10. Bucharest? (because it's in Romania)
and Romania is probably a better spelling than Rumania

[JMR27]

3. Normandy the 'short men' being Norm(an) + Andy(Andrew)

[heathergod]

Of course! Thank you!

and
2) Desert around city in South America (1 word - the name of a town or city)
3) Cutting remarks about a fuss in the WI (1 word - the name of a country)

3. BARB ado S

2. Quito...desert = quit + o (around)

I have no idea re q.1 but would guess it ends with...no

[JMR27]

1. Herat? ...taking 'the conference'...conference is a type of pear...Nope! = no PE...so an anagram of 'the (pe)ar' = Herat

[heathergod]

Thank you all of you for your great suggestions - I had left one out:
Scene of carnival and endless disorder (1 word - the name of a town or city)

[JMR27]

last one = Rio(t)

[heathergod]

I understand that the scene of carnivl is Rio but don't understand the rest of the clue.

[JMR27]

a disorder is a riot ...endless, i.e. without t (the last letter) = Rio
