Chances are, if you’ve been tuned in to the stations already playing Christmas music, you’ve heard at least one song about the plight of people in Africa, but SAIH, and organization of students and academics from the country wanted to make a point with this surprising satire on a sensitive subject:

“Imagine if every person in Africa saw the ‘Africa for Norway’ video and this was the only information they ever got about Norway. What would they think about Norway?,” said a statement from the group. “If we say Africa, what do you think about? Hunger, poverty, crime or AIDS?

It is an intriguing approach, that’s for sure, so sit back and watch as the tragedy befalling Norway unfolds:
