Yes, I agree!

With the month names from 

http://www.mcit.gov.et/documents/1268465/1282796/Localization+Standard+for+AFARAF/4dab7d83-e6df-4f4f-b236-b89748c456e9?version=1.0

wrong month names will be displayed because the calendar calculation
glibc does is gregorian and the months from that Ethiopian calendar
just don’t fit to the gregorian calendar system.

So we would need to know how the Gregorian months are called in
Afar.
