JAKARTA (Reuters): A boat carrying 111 Rohingya refugees, including women and children, landed on the shores of Indonesia's northernmost province of Acheh on Tuesday (Nov 15), authorities said, the latest among an annual exodus from northwest Myanmar.

The Rohingya, a persecuted Muslim minority, have for years sailed to countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia between November and April when the seas are calmer. Hundreds have reached Acheh in recent years, many having been at sea for months.
