🧑‍🚀They are then immediately flown to NASA's Johnson Space Center for extensive reconditioning, including physical therapy, medical testing, and a progressive 45-day recovery program to adapt to gravity again.

🧑‍🚀Immediate Post-Landing (First Few Hours)
Spacecraft Stabilization: Astronauts stay in the capsule while recovery teams secure it to ensure it is safe to open.

🩺Medical Evaluation: Medical professionals examine the crew to ensure they are safe.

Extraction: Astronauts 🧑‍🚀 are helped out of the capsule, often on stretchers, because their balance system needs to adjust to Earth's gravity.

💉 Initial Medical Exams: They are usually taken to a nearby ship or helicopter for quick exams.

Short-Term Recovery (First Few Weeks)
Rehabilitation: Astronauts undergo rehabilitation exercises to counteract muscle wastage and reduced bone density, which can be significant.

🧑‍🚀Re-entry Recovery: They undergo a structured 45-day post-mission recovery program.

April 2, 2026: The SPLM-IO interim chairman, Stephen Par, condemned the recent incident in Jebel Iraq, Juba County, which resulted in the deaths of more than 70 civilians this afternoon. He described it as a coordinated trend of violence that started in Nasir, Abienoum, and now Jebel Iraq in Central Equatoria State (CES).

He accused the SPLM-IO leadership under Oyet Nathaniel of mobilizing armed groups to commit atrocities and violate the peace agreement.

However, it remains unclear who to hold responsible, as the SPLM-IO leadership under Oyet Nathaniel recently issued a statement distancing itself from the incident and condemning the killing of innocent civilians, while pointing fingers at the government.

April 2, 2026: Brazil🇧🇷 has the largest black population outside of Africa, with approximately 96 million people of African descent, accounting for around 55% of the country's population. The history of African descendants in Brazil dates back to the 16th century when the Portuguese started importing enslaved Africans to work on sugar plantations and mines.

The transatlantic slave trade brought around 4.9 million enslaved Africans to Brazil, with the majority coming from West Central Africa (70.1%), particularly from present-day Angola, Congo, and Mozambique. The enslaved Africans were forced to work in harsh conditions, leading to a significant cultural exchange and influence on Brazilian culture, music, and traditions.

Afro-Brazilians have played a crucial role in shaping Brazil's identity, contributing to music genres like samba, capoeira, and Candomblé. Despite facing socioeconomic disparities and racial discrimination, Afro-Brazilians continue to fight for equality and representation

Here are ten countries with the highest number of black African descendants outside of Africa:
1. Brazil: 96 million
2. United States: 50 million
3. Haiti: 12 million
4. Colombia: 10 million
5. Dominican Republic: 9.2 million
6. France: 3.8 million
7. Venezuela: 3.2 million
8. Jamaica: 2.8 million
9. United Kingdom: 2.5 million
10. Mexico: 1.4 million

《Monday 18 September 2023 Juba》Members of National Parliament for SPLM-IO walked out of an ordinary sitting in protest for the passing of the National Elections Act to pave ways for 2024 general elections. The members of the Parliament declared the unilateral decision by the SPLM Parliamentary Caucus to pass the National Elections Act the violation of the peace agreement.

" We call upon the guarantors of the revitalized agreement on the resolution of the conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) to immediately intervene to rescue the peace agreement," Said Nathaniel Oyet Pierino, the deputy chairman of SPLM-IO.

Nathaniel Oyet Pierino, the deputy chairman of SPLM-IO, who doubles as the first deputy speaker of the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) told journalists in a press conference at the SPLM-IO General Secretariat this evening that the manner in which the bill was passed was a clear violation of the peace agreement.

Oyet demanded the Troika, RJMEC, AU, IGAD, and other guarantors to intervene and stop the violations perpetrated by members of the SPLM Party.

On related development, the deputy chairman of the SPLM -IO added their chairman is undergoing serious restrictions. He can't travel to other States and abroad.

" Our chairman Dr. Riek Machar has never left Juba since he came in 2020. He did not visit any State or leave the country for treatment. He is sick in Juba and he treats himself in Juba. Our chairman was invited to Wau for a conference organised by the State but he was denied, he was also invited in West Africa by one of the heads of State and he was denied; even the current ongoing UN General Assembly in New York he was invited but again denied," Oyet explained. He added that democracy is further abused by giving the president prerogative to appoint 5% of the members of Parliament.

In August, the majority SPLM Parliamentary Caucus unanimously passed the controversial national fiscal budget 2023/2024 to approve a 400 percent salary increment instead of an earlier proposed 600 percent increment for civil servant salaries.

But the SPLM-IO lawmakers in the parliament also walked out of that parliamentary sitting on the budget passing protesting the decision, saying it was not in favour of civil servants. However, the Minister of Information Mr. Michael Makuei Lueth rubbished move as political propaganda.
