Hello,
I asked Richard about an explanation as I was assuming it may have to do with some sort of unwritten code. political alliances, clan politics, etc. But the outcome is that Algeria is in this respect very much like Egypt. And I remember hearing the same line in Libya, too: "In the desert we are 100% responsible for you, and we won't leave you, no matter what".
In reality it was as much a matter of honour as public relations and the simple truth that an agency losing a client, or guiding a client who misbehaves, will also lose the licence, hence his whole family will suffer, too.
