Authorities in Libya are expected to formally announce the country’s liberation later today.

This will officially start the countdown to the country’s first democratic elections in more than 42 years.

It comes more than two months after rebel fighters managed to capture the capital city, Tripoli, from forces still loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.

Dramatic video footage of Gaddafi’s capture in Sirte earlier this week has surfaced, and the ousted leader has since died.
