These governments stopped sending food aid because of local corruption, not their own corruption. The food was being stolen and sold for profit instead of going to those who are starving.
Yes, local government corruption, who are diverting (stealing) the aid to the military or to market to be sold for massive profit, rather than to the civilians who need it.
Worth noting the US had other sanctions against Ethiopia in place but is easing some non-food restrictions.
