Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the unjust policies adopted by the western countries responsible for the spread of poverty and hunger in the world. "The lack of justice has created such disasters in the world," Ahmadinejad said on Monday, adding that based on the statistical figures released by international organizations, 3 billion from the world's 7-billion-strong population live in poverty and 1.2billion are afflicted with hunger.

He reiterated that the poor and hunger-stricken countries like Somalia possess rich resources and wealth, and said, "The reason for poverty in these regions is that a number of western arrogant powers have dominated them and are looting them."
