More than 123,000 Rohingya are now said to have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state since 25 August. The conflict was triggered by an attack by Rohingya militants on police posts. Which sparked a military counter-offensive that has forced a flood of Rohingya civilians from their villages. But who are the Rohingya?
