An old scientific rover modified by "Source" Atcivists to help native populations of planets resist Megacorporation and Empires' "Terraformation" programs.
"Source" is a group of activists considered to be criminals or "Eco-Terrorists" by most political Factions. Their success in Humanitatrian operations are however undeniable.
Dealing with these activists is often very dangerous and puts the Large corporations and Empires in a state of political stress.

Diario de la Primera Misión GTFO (Jueves, 10-Dec-2020)
===============================================
Fuí al acogedor aeropuerto y embarcadero Audrey, donde había que recoger la mercancía, pues allí hay un HUB GTFO.
Tenía previsto cargar con un helicoptero amplio para llevar buena mercancía y ganar pasta y dinerito, que siempre viene bien.
Otra piloto canadiense estaba haciendo lo mismo, así que acordamos hacer la misma misión y ruta.
La manager del aeropuerto, nos llevó al lugar donde se recogían las cajas y se aceptaba el encargo.
La Misión tenía caracter humanitario pues había que llevar productos importantes ( viveres y medicamentos ) a una zona de buceo en medio del mar, a bastante distancia.
La Ruta, pues, comenzaba en este pequeño aeropuerto al sur del continente Corsica, luego había que pasar por el corredor de Islas que enlaza Corsica con el continente Nautilus, y una vez, allí al Sim Dire Straits (flechas en ROJO).
Llegamos sin apenas incidencias al lugar y nos pagaron lo acordado. ¡Qué bien!.
Desde allí solo quedaba regresar al aeropuerto Base, en Isla Lagartija, una de las Islas Balboa (flechas en VERDE).
Bueno, he de decir que la aventura no terminó ahí, pues invité a la piloto canadiense a que tomara un descanso y refresco en la Base... ... ....
GTFO First Mission Diary (Thursday, 10-Dec-2020)
==============================================
I went to the cozy Audrey airport and pier, where the merchandise had to be collected, as there is a GTFO HUB there.
I had planned to carry a large helicopter to carry good merchandise and earn money and money, which is always good.
Another Canadian pilot was doing the same, so we agreed to do the same mission and route.
The airport manager took us to the place where the boxes were collected and the order was accepted.
The Mission had a humanitarian character as important products (food and medicine) had to be taken to a diving area in the middle of the sea, quite a distance away.
The Route, therefore, began in this small airport to the south of the Corsica continent, then it was necessary to go through the corridor of Islands that connects Corsica with the Nautilus continent, and once, there to the Sim Dire Straits (arrows in RED).
We arrived with hardly any incidents at the place and they paid us what was agreed. How good!.
From there it only remained to return to the Base airport, on Isla Lagartija, one of the Balboa Islands (arrows in GREEN).
Well, I have to say that the adventure did not end there, because I invited the Canadian pilot to take a rest and refreshment at the Base ... ... ....

More than two-thirds of the world’s land area and more than half of the world’s population do not have direct access to paved roads or runways. This lack of infrastructure presents numerous challenges for worldwide humanitarian relief, natural resource extraction and heavy cargo operations. In most cases, developing these areas to accommodate roads or airways is not an option, so for centuries they’ve remained isolated. To combat these challenges, the Skunk Works team developed a one-of-kind Hybrid Airship that offers large cargo capacity with significant reductions in fuel consumption compared to other air vehicles. All while remaining faster than land and sea transportation systems. Learn more at lockheedmartin.com/hybridairship

During the 30th anniversary of the Kurdish exodus and the establishment of a no-fly zone, which is currently mentioned in the Kurdistan Region, it is also worth recalling the support and solidarity for Kurds expressed by Poles.
Despite the deep economic crisis that Poland was experiencing at that time, soon after the start of the Kurdish exodus, the first humanitarian aid transport was organized in Poland (in Kraków) and later another humanitarian convoys.

Water provision in Ali Addeh camp in Djibouti. The priority of EU humanitarian aid in Djibouti is to provide life-saving assistance to refugees and look for durable solutions to their plight.
Djibouti hosts over 18 000 long-term refugees and asylum seekers mainly from Somalia whose basic needs such as shelter, water and protection need to be catered for.
Since the start of the Yemen crisis in March 2015, close to 80 000 people have fled to countries in the Horn of Africa including nearly 40 000 to Djibouti. This new influx is putting pressure on the country’s limited natural resources and services.
Djibouti imports 95% of its food. The number of people at risk of hunger has increased since the 2011 drought, accelerating the rural exodus to urban areas. A combination of high food prices, water scarcity, climate change and reduced pasture has increased food insecurity. This year’s El Niño has led to even dryer weather.
Humanitarian funding from the European Commission provides refugees with access to clean water and sanitation as well as shelter, protection, nutrition and health care. Food assistance is given in the form of cash transfers as a way of promoting refugees’ self-reliance. ©EU/ECHO/Massimo La Rosa

Yaya Dia Adama escaped violence in CAR and came to the Gado refugee camp with her five children. She is a seamstress by trade and is able to make a living using the sewing machines at the UN Women multipurpose centre. She is currently training three other women to use them to make clothes, and together the women produce dresses to sell in the market. “Each day I am able to earn 1000 to 2000 [CFA] francs a day [USD 1.75–3.50]. This has helped me to provide for my children.”
As of January 2016, 243,750 people had fled the violence in Central African Republic (CAR) and become refugees in Cameroon.
UN Women Cameroon supports economic and social rehabilitation for vulnerable women and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in seven refugee camps in three regions of the country.

Getting aid into Doruma is difficult. Traders have been killed on the road into Doruma so aid has to be flown in. UNICEF and Solidarités flew in twenty five tons of tarpaulins, water containers and blankets to protect the thousands of people in the open from respiratory and water borne diseases. The dirt airstrip is not the best there is in Congo. There is only one car in the town, it belongs to the nuns, and it was being repaired ahead of a visit by a delegation of eight bishops. So to move the twenty five tons into town the local Crisis Committee called up teams of youth on bicycles.
Acheminer l’aide à Doruma est un défi monumental. Des commerçants ont été tués sur la route de Doruma ainsi l'aide doit être aéroporté. L'UNICEF et Solidarités ont apporté vingt-cinq tonnes de bâches, bidons d’eau et de couvertures pour protéger des milliers de personnes qui vivent à l’extérieur sans abris contre les maladies respiratoires et maladies hydriques. La piste d'atterrissage est mauvaise et courte. Il y a seulement une voiture dans la ville, elle appartient aux nonnes, et elle était en réparation avant d'une visite par une délégation de huit évêques. En conséquence le comité de crise a organisé des équipes de jeunes à transporter en ville par bicyclettes les vingt-cinq tonnes.
Transportar la ayuda a Doruma es un reto monumental. Se ha matado a comerciantes sobre la carretera de Doruma así l' ayuda debe ser aerotransportada. UNICEF y Solidarités hemos aportado veinticinco toneladas de toldos, latas de agua y coberturas para proteger a millares de personas que viven exteriormente sin refugios contra las enfermedades respiratorias y enfermedades hídricas. La pista d' aterrizaje es malo y corto. Hay solamente un coche en la ciudad, pertenece a las monjas, y estaba en reparación antes del d' una visita por una delegación de ocho obispos. En consecuencia el Comité de crisis organizó equipos de jóvenes que deben transportarse en ciudad por bicicletas las veinticinco toneladas.

Three failed rainy seasons have resulted in Ethiopia's worst drought in 50 years. Country-wide 250 000 people are believed to be displaced across more than 25 sites. Siti zone in the country's Somali region is one of the hardest hit . Up to 90% of livestock in the area has died. Families have now moved around villages where they are sharing the few remaining water sources. For pastoralists, water is the source of all life and the basis of their livelihoods. Without water there is no pasture for their animals, and without animals there is no milk for their children, let alone meat or an income. The European Commission's Humanitarian the Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) has been supporting partners to address the most urgent needs such as water, nutrition, food and fodder for the animals.©EU/ECHO/Anouk Delafortrie

Call the pass of the time of evolution process is a deception that will serve some. In truth we never left the caves and the only evolution is the sophisticated way we found to attack each other. We maintain the same survival instinct and added a unruly sense of ownership. We can’t plan together and in a long term and from the color of skin, religion or natural resources, everything seems to be an excuse for misunderstanding. We are ruled by mobsters or unable which rely on our passivity to keep this cycle of things. It remains for us the hope that one day we can be succeed be united around a true evolutionary ideal.

This month the International Organisation for Migration has carried out relief operations in areas newly retaken from Daesh around Mosul in Iraq, targeting newly displaced people who have fled to more stable areas. Last week, 110 full winter non-food relief item (NFI) kits were distributed, including blankets, heaters and carpets, to families in the town of Haj Ali. The kits were funded by the UK’s Department for International Development.
The UK is providing £14 million in humanitarian aid to help support up to 66,000 people in and around Mosul via IOM.
