Struct initialization is different. Try this:

public static DST[char[]] AA =
         [
             "Africa/Asmara"[]: {5, "bla"[]}
         ]
     ;

     ;



yeah I've tried that too:
Error: not an associative array initializer

I have also tried this:
align(1)
struct DST {

    private int test;
    private char[] secondtest;

    public static DST[char[]] AA =
        [
            "Africa/Asmara": DST(5, "bla")
        ]
    ;
}

Error: non-constant expression ["Africa/Asmara":(DST(5,"bla"))]

It's because AA initializers are not constants :P

AAs initializers are run at runtime, they cannot be stored in the static 
data segment so they cannot be constants.  You'll have to split it up:

public static DST[char[]] AA;

static this()
{
    AA = ["Africa/Asmara": DST(5, "bla")];
}
