Rohingya Muslim refugees who fled Myanmar to escape a brutal counterinsurgency campaign are struggling to find a country that would accept them. Muhammad Amin arrived in Indonesia with over 300 others and has been relocated five times with his young family in the last 36 hours. Locals are refusing their presence.
