<p>The UK is deeply concerned by the continuing fighting, and actively engaged in
international diplomatic efforts to bring it to an end. On 5 July we secured agreement
to a UN Security Council statement stressing the need for all parties to urgently
de-escalate and commit to a ceasefire. We are working closely with Security Council
members, regional governments and UN Envoy Ghassan Salamé to convince the parties
on the ground to return to a UN-led political process, the objective of which is to
facilitate agreement on a more inclusive political settlement, which is the best way
of stabilising the country.</p>
