Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says he opposes taking in any more people fleeing Afghanistan and that the country 'has made a disproportionately large contribution'
Austria's conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has opposed taking in any more people fleeing Afghanistan now that the Taliban have seized power.
Austria is also a neutral country and not a member of NATO. It sent only a very small number of troops to Afghanistan. NATO's website lists it as having sent 16 troops for the Resolute Support Mission, an effort to train and advise the Afghan security forces.
