During a meeting with Algerian Minister of War Veterans Moudjahidine Mohamed Cherif Abbas, Ahmadinejad said, "Today, the signs of the collapse of hegemonic powers are seen everywhere." He said that "the hegemonic powers" had failed to develop their strategies in different countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, and Latin America, and were trapped in crises that they themselves had created.
