Shakira Makes Middle East Appeal

The 29 year-old star, who had a number one hit, Hips Don’t Lie, with singer Wyclef Jean, is demanding that world powers find a way to stop the conflict in the region.  Shakira’s father is Lebanese.

After receiving an award in Mexico, Shakira told the crowd, "It breaks my heart to know that while this is happening, we stay silent.  I hope that my generation will call on the world powers to stop this conflict, to intervene."

"There must be an international intervention as soon as possible," she added.
