Regime troops accompany journalists on a tour of Douma Chemical weapons inspectors failed to visit scene of chemical attack on April 7 LONDON: Journalists working in Syria’s capital Damascus were treated to an organized visit to the opposition enclave of Douma. Members of the press toured and photographed deserted areas of Douma which has been held by opposition groups for the last seven years. The government invited international news agencies to tour the devastated neighborhood of Damascus that witnessed the birth of the revolution against Assad’s rule in 2011. Chemical weapons inspectors meanwhile are still awaiting the green light to access areas where chemical attacks were carried out on the 7th April, and which led to the evacuation of fighters and their families to the north of the country as part of a deal to evacuate the enclave.
