"T5MF" is extremely unlikely to be genuine for several reasons:

Any activity from Somalia, on any band, is likely to be the subject 
of great publicity - and there is none that I can find.

Any activity would be primarily on the main HF bands. 

It is relatively difficult to transmit a big signal on 472kHz. Only 
an experienced MF operator, or someone with a big established DX 
station, would be likely to achieve this. 

There has been no advance publicty of any kind.

Despite the distance, all reporters were relatively close together. 
There were others monitoring who received nothing.

Nice idea, but probably a pirate.
