Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. As Iran and Pakistan trade military strikes, we look at one side of their shared border: the Pakistani province of Balochistan.
This originally aired on May 4, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. 
Enforced disappearances have been happening across Pakistan for the last 20 years. And in the southwest province of Balochistan, in particular, some human rights groups say thousands of people are missing. In this episode, The Take talks to the family member of a victim about how her life has been affected.
In this episode: 

Mahrang Baloch, (@MahrangBaloch_), Political activist and doctor
Osama Bin Javaid (@osamabinjavaid), Al Jazeera English correspondent
Anwar Ul Haq Kakar (@anwaar_kakar), Senator of Balochistan
