Africa saw good economic results in 2011 with average growth of between 5.5 per cent and 6 per cent, African Union (AU) commission chairperson Jean Ping said on a visit to Libya. 'Africa progressed on average between five and a half and 6 per cent. We are nearly at 6 per cent, and seven countries are between seven and 11 per cent,' he said on his first trip to Tripoli since Muammar Gaddafi's fall.
