Is there any way to pay online in a country with no international banking system
According to Paypal, they support transactions in Ethiopia:  https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/country-worldwide https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/country_codes/ However those appear to be limited to transferring money out of the country.

It sounds like you have to set up a US bank account, withdraw the funds to that then somehow transfer the money from their to your bank.   NOTE: I have no relationship to any of the sites above, nor do I know if the information is accurate or the trustworthiness of those businesses.
