Abyusif Drops New Track ‘Reda' Produced by Lil Baba
Cairo's rap heavyweight Abyusif teams up with Lil Baba for a gritty new track that brings the heat back to Egyptian rap. Jun 04, 2025 Egyptian rap titan Abyusif has returned with a hard-hitting new track, 'Reda', produced by none other than Lil Baba, the mastermind behind some of the region's biggest hits. Reda sees both artists tap into the raw energy that defined Abyusif's sound, while bringing in Lil Baba's polished textures. The result is a track that feels both minimal and sharp-edged, anchored by clipped snare and Abyusif's signature delivery. Abyusif moves between paranoia, isolation, and survival with lines like: 'مش بحس غير بأبويا، مش بحس بأي ندم' 'I only feel my father. I don't feel any regret.' The second verse shifts into something even more personal, as he reflects on love lost and brutal self-awareness: 'كنت فاكر إني داخل عمر وسلمى، بس طلع بعد الفراق' 'I thought I was living a rom-com, but it turned out to be post-breakup fallout.' Whether snarling through verses or swerving into unexpected flows, Abyusif proves once again that he's still in a league of his own. Lil Baba's beat holds steady, letting every word land with weight.

Bendaoud, Reda set up PFL MENA clash; Seifi, Tairi through to 2nd round
Ayeni Olusegun Jeddah Impressive knockout wins by Morocco's Taha Bendaoud and Egypt's Islam Reda have set up a potentially exciting second-round clash as the Professional Fighters League Middle East and North Africa (PFL MENA) Season 2 kicked off in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Bendaoud needed just over two minutes to defeat Algeria's Boualem Drissi by submission. The Moroccan, who was originally scheduled to face Jordan's Abdelrahman Alhyasat, who withdrew due to weight issues, controlled the fight before finishing with a perfectly applied triangle choke. 'I didn't envision it at all for this fight (to end quickly),' Bendaoud told Qatar Tribune. 'I went in there without thinking, did my game exactly how I do in sparring. 'When he took me down, I chose what I wanted to do. I saw so many submissions and remembered my triangle, So, I thought, why not get another one?' His next opponent, Islam Reda, also impressed with a third-round ground-and-pound win over Algeria's Akram Nasri. Reda, who was in contention for last year's championship before pulling out due to injury, controlled the fight from the start. 'After all the effort and preparation, I am happy with this fight. Last season was upsetting because of the injury but that's how it was meant to be,' Reda said. 'I was preparing for Abdullah fight. Then, of course, Abdullah got injured suddenly but Akram fights differently to Abdullah,' Reda said. The Egyptian was initially scheduled to fight Saudi Arabia's 2024 PFL Featherweight Champion, Abdullah Al Qahtani, who pulled out late due to injury. 'Abdullah is a striker, but Akram is more of jiu-jitsu things. He combines several elements but thank God the fight went my way in the third round,' Reda added. On the main card, 2024 PFL Lightweight Champion Mohsen Mohammadseifi of Iran began his title defense with a dominant performance, defeating Egypt's Ahmed El Sisy by unanimous decision. Mohammadseifi showed strong grappling and striking skills and looked sharp throughout, signaling his intent for another title run. Souhil Tairi of Algeria also advanced to the Lightweight semifinals with a second-round TKO win over Kuwait's Abdullah Saleem. A knee to the body followed by heavy ground strikes secured the win for Tairi, who was coming off back-to-back losses last year. 'I'm ready and prepare myself to finish every fight. I'm not looking for a win over decision I want to finish every fight, and I hope my opponents are ready for that,' Tairi said. 'Coming back from two losses is tough, because I was close to finishing in every fight. This has motivated me to keep training. I made a huge adjustment in my preparations and understanding my environment. I'm trying daily to adjust. I'm not the perfect fighter, but I'm learning, and I hope to deliver the best of myself in the next fight,' Tairi added. In other fights, Malik Basahel of Saudi Arabia made a statement in his professional debut, scoring a second-round TKO win over Algeria's Mountasser Boutouta in a Showcase Flyweight bout. Egypt's Assem Ghanem a spot in the Featherweight Semifinals, as he defeated Hussein Salem of Iraq over three rounds to secure a unanimous decision victory. Kuwait's Eman Almudhaf remained undefeated in her MMA career as she edged Brazil's Shamara Braga of Brazil in a Showcase Women's Featherweight bout via split decision. Mohammad Fahmi of Iraq also secured a spot in the Lightweight Semifinals with a dominant performance, submitting Georges Eid of Lebanon via Anaconda Choke in the first round.

Ethiopia's prime minister asks Tigray region to nominate new leader to ease political tensions
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia 's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Wednesday asked people in the northern Tigray region to nominate a new leader in the latest move by the federal government to defuse political disagreements and prevent a return to war. The nominee would replace Tigray's interim President Getachew Reda, whose differences with former leader, Debretsion Gebremichael, have split the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and led to fighting as armed soldiers loyal to Gebremichael take over key towns. There are concerns in the region that the widening political split within the TPLF could lead to a full-fledged civil war like the one that ended in 2022 with the signing of a peace agreement. The party has been calling for the firing of Reda and others since last year, attempting to appoint a new set of its endorsed candidates and removing him and some cabinet members from party membership. Earlier this month, armed soldiers loyal to the party took over the administrations of key towns, including the region's second biggest city, Adigrat, in what Reda termed as a 'coup' and with escalating conflict, he fled to the capital, Addis Ababa. William Davison, an analyst on Ethiopia says, the leadership change might ease infighting for the immediate future but many challenges remain. 'The region's new leaders will still possess little leverage to convince the federal government to restore territory lost in the war and the failure to achieve that is likely to lead to continuing political instability inside Tigray, while serious defiance of Addis Ababa may lead to a new conflict," he told The Associated Press. Ahmed, who used a social media post on the X platform on Wednesday for names of potential nominees, has been holding talks with Reda and the leadership of the TPLF in Addis Ababa to end the political impasse. Amanuel Assefa, deputy chair of the TPLF, said the prime minister's decision to ask the public to nominate a candidate instead of one chosen by the party is a violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement (CoHA). 'We know that the prime minister had agreed with the candidate who was nominated by the TPLF and therefore, if he tries to reject it unilaterally, it will be against the CoHA," Assefa told AP. The TPLF's preferred candidate is the current deputy president of the interim government, Lt. Gen. Tadesse Worede, who he described as a competent and experienced politician and military professional, who served as commander of the military arm of the party, The Tigray Defense Force. 'Another issue is how the prime minister intends to identify whether the public nomination is given by Tigrayans or not," he added. Ahmed told lawmakers last week that he expects the renewal of the term of the interim government to be extended by a year to coincide with national elections that will take place next year. ———— Associated Press journalist Amanuel Gebremedhin contributed to this report.
