Women find some respite in Libya's 'families only' cafes - ReutersTRIPOLI - 31 October 2017: Fashionable cafes springing up in Libya’s capital are shutting out single men and catering for women looking for a break from the tensions - political and personal - crowding in around them.The cafes with European names and bright decor seem a world away from the city’s traffic-clogged and still violent streets. “They are less of a headache than the cafes for young guys. Customers come to relieve the daily stress, said Saad al-Farjani, the owner of the Coffee Factory.“All the time you hear of new family cafes opening. “I hope that cafes ... become like cafes abroad, for example, with seats outside. Unfortunately in Benghazi we cannot sit outside enough.”
