I found this which also gives Ethiopia as a location.

Ictonyx striatus (Striped Polecat, Striped Weasel, Zorilla)
(http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/41646/0)

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_family

I found ;-
Genetic analysis suggests the Mustelidae should be divided into eight
subfamilies

One of which is - Galictis, Vormela, Ictonyx, Poecilogale (Subfamily
Galictinae)

So it looks as though there are two animals called Striped Weasel in
that part of the world.

Tony, Suki and Sweetie aka Sneaky or Squeaky.
In memory of Sally, Sue and Sugar.
