Tarinkot (Dari: ترين کوت), also spelled as Tarin Kowt, is a city in south-central Afghanistan, serving as the capital of Uruzgan Province.[2][3] It sits at 1,317 m (4,321 ft) above sea level, and is connected by a road network with Kandahar to the south,[4][5] Nili in Daykundi Province to the north, and Malistan in Ghazni Province to the northeast.
Located within the Tarinkot District, the city had a population of approximately 71,604 people in 2015.[1] In the district, two major Pashtun tribal confederations are represented, Tareen tribes: Popalzai, Barakzai, Nurzai, Achakzai; and the Ghilzai tribes: Tokhi, Hotak.
The majority of land in the district is classified as non built-up (69%) of which agriculture is 67%. Residential land accounts for 47% of built-up land.[1] The Tarinkot Airport is located within the municipal boundaries, accounting the second largest built-up land use (24%).[1]
During the August 2021 Taliban offensive, all Afghan National Security Forces under President Ashraf Ghani surrendered to the Taliban.[6] Tarinkot continues to be one of the least developed populated places in the country.[7]
