Beyoncé inspires Iraqi youth peace movement

LOS ANGELES – “I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time; know there was something there, and something that I left behind,” Beyonce sang before the United Nations General Assembly in New York to promote World Humanitarian Day in 2012, offering a rendition of her song “I Was Here.” “When I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets; leave something to remember so they won’t forget. I was here.”

But little did pop star know the impact her words would have on the youth of Baghdad two years later.


“Those words were so powerful, so life-changing,” Mohammad Huzaifa Muluki, a 23-year-old student in Baghdad told FOX411. “I know it is difficult to do, but we want to change the world and that song made us realize we can. We can leave in a world with peace, without war, without terror.”


Muluki and just four other friends from university quickly launched a humanitarian campaign of the same name – “I Was Here.” Today it boasts an ever-growing list of more than 150 young volunteers, all with a mission to provide services that will help those in need.
