In 2009，the Middle East and African economies were seriously affected by the international financial crises but did not collapse. Instead，they tend to recover gradually with the general improvement of the world economy. The United States saw its influence declining in the Middle East though it was still playing the major role in the regional affairs. The readjustment of the Middle East policies by the new American administration could neither resolve the complicate Middle East issues，nor could it help the United States to get rid of the predicament in the Middle East in short term. Benefiting from the international concern，the African countries were making use of opportunities and promoting development at domestic，regional and international levels.
