FARKAWN, India (Reuters) - For more than a decade, Mah Tial said she ran a small store in Thantlang, a town in northwest Myanmar, making enough money to send her four children to school and see her eldest daughter secure a coveted government job.
On Sept. 8, the 51-year-old said her peaceful life in the hilltop settlement ended suddenly when Myanmar's military attacked and burned down houses, forcing the family to flee and shelter in neighbouring India's Mizoram state.
