The hostage situation in Algeria, with the kidnapping of many
foreigners, from different nationalities, by an al-Qaeda inspired group, opens
a new phase in the security crisis in that part of North Africa as well as
other areas surrounding Mali. All of sudden governments from outside the region
are realising that their interests in the gas and oil fields in Algeria and the
vicinity could be under very serious threat. This can deeply affect the
functioning of the many fields and lead to a significant decrease in the
production levels.
