I think it depends on what you mean by "slightly older". Ethiopia has a lot of older children available for adoption. However, older means over the age of 5 often times. Ethiopia also has a waiting child program (only some agencies do this). This means children that have been difficult to find homes for -- which can include special needs, age, sibling groups or sometimes even gender. The most commonly requested specifics in international adoption are an infant girl. Also, Ethiopia is not a central regulated country (like China) so the wait times can vary greatly depending on the agency you talk to. Also, what kind of process time are you looking for? If you are interested in Ethiopia still let me know and provide some more information and I would be happy to PM you regarding agency information.
