‘The most important thing’ ,Brian Sokol’s refugee portrait series. Brian Sokol 難民肖像系列

August, 2012. Dowla Barik, 22, in Doro refugee camp, Maban County, South Sudan. Months prior to this picture, numerous bombing raids forced Dowla and her six children to flee Gabanit, their village in Sudan's Blue Nile State. The most important thing Dowla fled with is the wooden pole balanced over her shoulders, with which she carried her six children during the 10-day journey to safety. At times, the children were too tired to walk, forcing her to carry two on either side. (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)

August, 2012. Magbola Alhadi, 20, and her daughters (l. to r: Aduna Omar, 6, Halima Omar, 4, and Arfa Omar, 2) in Jamam refugee camp in Maban County, South Sudan. After weathering aerial bombing raids for several months, the family left their village of Bofe when soldiers arrived and opened fire. For 12 days the family travelled to El Fudj, a town on the South Sudanese border. Magboola most values the saucepot she holds here. Small enough to carry, it was also big enough to cook sorghum for her family during their journey. (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)

March, 2013. Malian refugee Doud Ag Ahmidou, 45, with his family near their shelter in Goudebou refugee camp, Burkina Faso. The most important thing Doud took on his family’s difficult 6-day flight on a donkey’s back was a Touareg Pillow. Doud said, “...placing their heads on a pillow ... from home made them think of the peaceful nights back in our encampment.” Also, because the pillow is made out of traditional Touareg material, it represents a direct connection between Doud and his ancestors and traditions.

August, 2012. Haja Tilim, 55, in Jamam refugee camp in Maban County, South Sudan. The night a bomb killed her neighbor, Haja and her family fled their home in Fadima Village, in Sudan's Blue Nile State. Her most important thing is the "taupe,” a patterned shawl she used to carry her 18-month-old granddaughter, Bal Gaze. Haja brought nothing else with her on the 25-day journey to the border. She recalls, "I started to run while wearing my sandals, but they slowed me down, so I threw them on the side of the trail." (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)

March, 2013. Malian refugee Abdou Ag Moussa, 34, with his family outside their shelter in Mentao refugee camp, Burkina Faso. The family are nomadic Tuareg herders from Ebangamallan encampment, near Gosi, Mali. After his mother and four others were abducted and shot by armed men, Abdou fled with his wife, children, and father. Abdou’s most important thing is the motorcycle he sits on here. He put his wife and children into a car, and, with his father, followed on the motorcycle, which he says saved their lives. (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)

August 2012. Howard Serad, 21, in Yusuf Batil refugee camp in Maban County, South Sudan. Gunfights and aerial bombardment forced Howard, his wife, and six children, to flee their home in Bau County, in Sudan's Blue Nile State, four months prior to this photo. Howard was able to bring with him the long knife he holds, called a "shefe." It allowed him to defend his family and his herd of 20 cattle during their 20-day journey from Bau County to the South Sudanese border. (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)

August, 2013. "Many people have suffered. Mine is just one story," says Jean Gerembo, 36, in the Batanga transit center for Central African refugees, Equateur Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. The most important thing that Jean was able to bring with him from CAR is the fishing net that he holds. The net allows him to live and to earn. "Some of the fish I sell, some we eat. I use the money to buy clothes and to pay the local people for the plantains, cassava, and peanuts we get from their land." (Photograph by Brian Sokol/Panos Pictures)
