While prime minister, Blair had overseen UK backing for South Sudan\u2019s main rebel front, SPLM, later offering a UK guarantee to the peace deal that made the rebels the ruling party of the south. He visited Friday as representative of the Africa Governance Initiative, an advisory body under his patronage. Speaking at the office of the president on Friday, Blair said \u201cI\u2019ve just had an excellent set of meetings with the president. We discussed the country and its progress in the 18 months since it achieved its independence.\u201d \u201cMyself and my team will do all we possibly can to help make the president\u2019s vision for the country be realized and achieved,\u201d he added. The former UK leader also visited the Council of States, the upper chamber of the assembly which was formed after South Sudan\u2019s independence in July 2011. A press statement on the website of the Africa Governance Initiative described Blair\u2019s visit as a \u201cregular end-of-year visit.\u201d The statement explained that \u201cAGI has a team of advisors providing support to central government institutions and to building systems of performance management and accountability so as to deliver policy outcomes in priority areas such as agriculture, energy and investment.\u201dPhoto by Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative."}
