Many of them will be killed by the Taliban. There will be video. Like this from last month.[1]
The embassy in Kabul is still hiring.[2] They want a Public Engagement Assistant, a Cultural Affairs Assistant, a truck driver, and a plumber. Really.

Not sure why this person is being downvoted, but it's well known that any informant that works with an occupying force is on the chopping block once that force is no longer there. This is especially true in the middle east as many cultures there have a history of generational feuds. In other words, they don't easily forget "traitors".
"American negotiators are trying to extract assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the embassy"
Oh boy....
Edit: White is what is controlled by the government, Orange dark is already under control of the Taliban, other orange contested.
