Liberate the People
political party in Senegal
Liberate the People (French: Libérer le peuple; Wolof: Yewwi Askan Wi, YAW) was a Senegalese political coalition led by Ousmane Sonko. The coalition was opposed to former President Macky Sall and allied against him with the Wallu Sénégal alliance led by the Democratic Party of Senegal.

Why this record matters
The phrase “political party in Senegal” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q113460420. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
