One year on, Myanmar crackdown splits Rohingya

FORGED over generations in villages in Myanmar, Rohingya communities are now held together in calls over crackling phone lines.

“Mummy! Mummy!” 15-year-old Abdullah Razzaq shouted to his mother in their once-a-week call, nearly a year after he and his brother, along with more than 700,000 other Rohingya Muslims, fled waves of attacks by Myanmar security forces and crossed the border into Bangladesh.
