Federal republic in NE Africa; capital Addis Ababa (8)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for ethiopia that I've seen before include "Tie a Hopi up in Africa" , "Northeast African country" , "Landlocked Afr. country" , "African nation" , "African state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
