you are correct, that cross has nothing from Agadez shape, the design is too clear to risk any misinterpretation

just a "track",
as basic rule, Muslims are repugnant to have any mark, design, form reminder for them a Christian sign

"you guess that should be Ethiopian may be of recent manufacture", it's a possibility, because that country has a very large Christian community since many century, but in Africa should not be the only one ....
but definitively very few chance from a country mainly muslim
