A pair of twins, who were separated for two decades by a brutal conflict, have been reunited in an emotional meeting after a neighbour noticed their resemblance on TikTok. In a 'Parent Trap' like scenario, 24-year-old Trena Mustika grew up with her father, never knowing she had a twin sister.

The twins were reunited for the first time since 1999 after bloody sectarian conflicts broke out on a small Indonesian island.
