US ambassador in Syria: unwelcome

Obviously, the source does not want to be cited:  "god i couldnt wait to tell you this, you should put it up on your website at once as breaking news, but dont attribute it to me, just to a journalist in syria:  Yesterday july 30 the American ambassador in Syria was touring the old Damascus touristic area of Bab Touma with his cultural attache. It was a surprise visit, people on the ground were not aware of it. He went into several hotels. One hotel owner told him they were closed. In another hotel, owned by a Sunni, the Allawite chef went nuts and told the American ambassador 'get out of here, you, your policy, your people are not working here, we have nothing to offer you!' And then another hotel owner, Christian this time, also kicked him out."
