Never too late to vote

Preparations for Libya’s first election in nearly five decades are well underway, and Libyans have taken enthusiastically to register to vote. Old age didn’t stop 109-year-old Najiya Saleh and 101-year-old Abdel Rahim Adam Al-Jumeil from having a say in the new Libya. “Listen to me young men, our time has passed, now it is your time and you have to participate in the elections,” says Al-Jumeil.
