As much as I would love to see an event which involved the liberation of my character's birthplace from Garlean control, both the technical hurdles (although the Campaign-esque idea Gaddes mentioned would work very well) and the lore of the game unfortunately makes this very unlikely.
Ala Mhigo is a heavily fortified area - following the invasion it was turned into a massive Garlean fortress, with a huge wall sealing it off from the rest of Erozea. The Empire also has based the bulk of their forces there, and Gaius himself administers it. Not to mention there's also the unfortunate side-effect that the Garleans take Ala Mhigan children from their homes at a certain age and brainwash them. Sadly I think the only way it would ever be truly liberated is the actual collapse of the Empire itself, their hold on it is just too tight at the moment.
Personally I think we'll see a future expansion allowing access to the city, but it would be like Dalmasca in FFXII - under the Empire's heel but still accessible, rather than having an event to liberate it.

Like this idea a lot. Lol, maybe they should make Ala Mhigo a captured territory that can't be accessed until the players on the server unite and liberate it. Large-scale PvE would be so cool, not that SE has the technical capabilities or know-how to make it happen.
