Pop superstar Shakira has vowed to continue the fight to free hostages held in her native Colombia.

The Whenever, Wherever hitmaker recently praised the rescue of 15 captives who were held by the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) for six years.

And Shakira insists the fight against terrorism in the country is far from over.

In an open letter to the former hostages, the singer - along with other Latin music stars including Alejandro Sanz, Miguel Bose, Juanes, and Carlos Vives - has pledged to fight on until all the captives currently being held are given their freedom.

The letter reads, "We will continue until we see all of them free. Our eyes and lips will not rest until we see and kiss those who remain captives of those without conscience."
