Does Ethiopia have an image problem?

In the eyes of the world, Ethiopia is often associated with famine; it's an image that most Ethiopians and their government resent.

As the country gears up for its fourth multi-party parliamentary elections this weekend, the government has become even more sensitive about how the country is portrayed.

Addis Ababa University has a long history of political activism - the rioting in protest at the results of the last parliamentary election started there.

The BBC's Uduak Amimo met two first year students there; Zerihun Abebe, who is studying international relations and Tsion Belay, a human rights student.

She asked them how they think Ethiopia is portrayed in the international media.
