Afghanistan

Was Michael Jackson popular in Afghanistan?
In the Camp Phoenix dinning facilities (DFAC), soldiers from France discussed the death of the "Roi du Pop" (King of Pop) during breakfast. A little more than 2,000 French troops are stationed throughout Afghanistan where many help to train Afghan security force. Troops from all nations kept their eyes glued to the breaking news shown on the flat-screen TVs featuring the Armed Forces Network. Because of sensitivity level of Special Forces missions, members avoid identification in the press. His death was covered all over the headline News in Afghanistan - Fox News
Did Iraqis care about Michael Jackson, too? Joining The Takeaway is Don Gomez, an Iraq War Veteran and Spokesperson for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
"To capture our attention, they'd start moonwalking in front of us just to make us look at them. It was kind of a goofy thing to see, but it's Michael Jackson."
— Iraq veteran Don Gomez on Michael Jackson's influence in the Middle East
So yes, only country where he's not really popular is North Korea obv
