Algerian soldiers stand guard at Tiguentourine Gas Plant in In Amenas, 1600 km (994 miles) southeast of Algiers, in this January 31, 2013 file photo. With President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in a French hospital for over a month and the surrounding region in turmoil, Algeria looks from the outside to be on course for a period of unrest. The reality on the ground is different. The state has $200 billion in reserves from oil and gas revenues to spend placating the population with jobs and subsidies and a powerful and secretive security service.
