Second-in-power only to the king, General Oufkir is both hated and adored by the people of Morocco. After a failed coup d’ état, however, he is killed, and the lives of his wife and six children are changed forever. His older daughter, Malika Oufkir, survived a desert jail for two decades as one of the “disappeared,” along with her family. This is her story.

Malika incarcerated with her siblings. The youngest was three years old.

We’re also taking a look at child marriages, prevalent worldwide — including here in The States — for our theme of the week. Who allows it, and who is this ancient custom hurting?
This is an episode you’ll never forget!

I cannot believe an entire family went through all of that because of their father and survived it all. A lot was hard to hear because your imagination gets involved picturing what this family was going through. Awesome survival story.

We agree 100%! Just amazing!
