Daykundi Province

Daykundi Province (also transliterated Daikundi), in central Afghanistan, was split from Uruzgan Province in 2004, to make its majority Hazara while Uruzgan was Pashtun. District-level adjustments followed. Uruzgan forms its southern border. Daykundi's other borders are with Helmand south west; Ghor west and north; Bamyan north west; and Ghazni west. Daykundi is in the Hindu Kush mountains; its capital is Nili, also written Dili.
