'Like a dream': AFP photographer returns to Syria | AFP

Syrian AFP photographer Sameer al-Doumy walks at his old neighborhood in the city of Douma near Damascus on December 22, 2024. With the ousting of president Bashar al-Assad, Agence France-Presse photographer Sameer al-Doumy returned during a mission with an AFP team to his hometown of Douma near Damascus, which he had left in 2017 as it was besieged by Assad's troops who would then target it with a chemical attack before retaking this rebel stronghold. AFP photographer Sameer al-Doumy returns home after fleeing Syria in 2017, just one year before a horrific chemical weapons attack in April 2018 on his hometown of Douma, a rebel stronghold near Damascus. The 26-year-old award-winning photographer, who has spent the last few years covering the migrant crisis for AFP's Lille bureau in northern France, said it felt "like a dream" to be able to return, following the fall of president Bashar al-Assad.
