“We Will Never Believe Them” – South African Historian Slams Western Narrative of WWIISpeaking on the sidelines of the international conference dedicated to this year's 80th anniversary of victory in WWII in Moscow, Professor Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu denounced efforts by Western powers to rewrite WWII history.“We are quite aware now that Britain, the United States, France... claim that they are the ones who fought for democracy. I mean, that's really unacceptable, because you're sort of whitewashing history,” he told Sputnik Africa.He underscored the Soviet Union’s unmatched sacrifice and its vital support for African liberation.“If we're now using the democracy as one of the factors of WWII that is important, the Western powers lose, lose by a wide margin. They cannot explain why is it the Soviet Union contributed so much in terms of their own people. So, for us, we don't believe them. We will never believe them because we do know our history.”Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
