To me your example means you are traveling to LOS but via SSG. Traveling via someplace usually means that it is an intermediate point on your trip to somewhere else. In any event the entire rule says:
3. For travel to/from or via Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania two permitted in Europe when one is a transfer without stopover between Ghana/Nigeria/Kenya/Uganda/Tanzania and another continent.
To me the rule still requires the transfer to be between the select countries and another continent, I'm not sure how via can be read as allowing travel between any other country in Africa and then surface to those countries.
