<p>The British Government is committed to an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and
reconciliation process. Civilian casualties are a tragic result of the ongoing insurgency
and of terrorist attacks, including by ISKP. We continue to urge all sides to take
all measures possible to avoid civilian casualties. It is vital that the lives of
civilians must be protected. A political solution is the only way to achieve lasting
peace and stability in Afghanistan and the region. The Afghan Government has shown
an impressive commitment to peace. It is time for the Taleban's leaders to show true
courage and true leadership and work for peace.</p>
