Missing Japanese people in Algeria

Fourteen Japanese people are still missing at the In Amenas gas field, which was attacked by terrorists a couple of days ago. The natural gas plant is located 1,300 kilometers away from Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It's a tiny, lonely corner of the vast Sahara desert.

When dispatching employees to such a desolate place in an extreme hinterland with political uncertainty, why doesn't the company train them how to use Twitter from their mobile device before dispatching?

It may be that the company doesn't like the idea that their employees freely communicate their observations and ideas to the outside world. Or is it because there's no way to use Twitter in the middle of the Sahara? That's very possible. Hope things will work out fine.
