In a way, it was - though not officially by Another Country. Liberia was set up as a place where freed slaves from the USA could rule themselves. An American society under president Monroe bought land there and paid for freed slaves who wanted to go to be transported there.
The "colonization" started in 1816, and Liberia became independent in 1847. However, the country called Liberia included some land held by the indigenous people, who had been living in the area before the freed slaves arrived (known as Americo-Liberians or Americo- Libe). So there was always tension between the two groups, and the government was dominated by Americo-Liberians until 1980 - the indigenous people didn't get votes until 1951. (Since the same party ruled for 133 years, it was often said that Liberia had the most stable government in the world.)
Many of the Americo-Liberians viewed themselves as an elite, and better than the native people and not as part of the general populace. - People from other ethnic groups were often called "natives". For this reason, Liberia could be said to be a colony without a country to be colonized from!

Ethiopia
Ethiopia was not colonized because it resisted Italy's colonization efforts by winning the Battle of Adowa. Although Italy came back to avenge this loss and rule Ethiopia for five years this is not considered as colonization as it lasted for a short period of time and during this time Italy could not control the guerrilla fighters who were fighting to free their country. Ethiopia was very well guarded by its environment and surrounding empires, which played a key role in warding off European invaders. Ethiopians were also very resistant and successful in defeating European powers.
Liberia
Liberia was established by the USA as a place where free slaves could travel to and establish their own government. Europeans and America that this country was going to be a home for freed slaves who wanted to return to Africa. This movement was also known as Back to Africa Movement. As a result, Liberia became an independent nation and was protected by US-European agreements.

Ethiopia, unlike other african countries, had an organized government and military, so they fought off the italians in the first italo Ethiopian war, and italy occupied Ethiopia in ww2, but they did not colonize Ethiopia, saying italy colonized Ethiopia is like saying Germany colonized France in ww2
