    Temporary closure over allegedly inappropriate songs

    Mayor Ammar Musa ordered Al-Zahawi Café to close temporarily after objecting to songs played by the owner, describing them as unsuitable for the surrounding street and the café’s heritage character. The owner later made a legal pledge not to play similar songs, allowing the venue to reopen. The action attracted public criticism on social media.
