N'DJAMENA, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Chad said on Monday it would not accept any more refugees from Sudan's Darfur region and would expel them unless the international community sent them back home or found another country to shelter them.

"We can't allow more refugees to come and create problems for us," Prime Minister Nouradine Delwa Kassire Coumakoye said.

"Let the international community, which is so soft on (Sudanese President) Omar Hassan al-Bashir, seek another country to shelter them," he added. (Reporting by Alistair Thomson; Editing by Pascal Fletcher and Jon Boyle)
