The Taliban view Afghans who worked with foreign forces as traitors.“I'm sure they cannot do anything about it because I have left. There are no words, but I have a big pain in my heart.”

“It's dangerous because of the rush. I even saw kids falling under people’s feet ... people went on and then put feet on their face and stuff.”who escaped Kabul on a separate British flight on Wednesday nightVoice messages in Dari traded by the four interpreters at Kabul airport, obtained by SBS News, illustrated their precarious journey from the airport line, where thousands of people had queued to escape, to the tarmac.

"We have the officers of foreign affairs, immigration and four Aussie soldiers, they are doing a great job. They got us in. We are in a secure location now. They told me out to recognise my colleagues now," he said.
