The May 2025 edition of CAJ International Magazine arrives at a time when the global literary and journalistic landscape is evolving with renewed urgency. This issue proudly affirms our core mission at the Congress of African Journalists (CAJ): to foster cross-continental dialogue, celebrate cultural diversity, and spotlight powerful voices from Africa and the Global South.
From the Caspian Sea’s poetic shores, we turn to Eldar Akhadov, one of Azerbaijan’s leading literary voices, who offers a poignant essay entitled “Baku – Zurbagan”. With lyrical grace and melancholic beauty, Akhadov pays tribute to his homeland, weaving memories, longing, and identity into a tapestry that resonates with anyone who has loved a place from afar. His writing is a testament to the enduring link between geography and soul.
