What is the national motto of South Sudan?

The coat of arms of the Republic of South Sudan consists of an escutcheon with the tincture or (gold). The supporter is an African fish eagle holding a crossed spear and spade, symbolizing the people’s resolve to protect the sovereignty of their republic and work hard to feed it, described in some press accounts as a shield and two spears. The eagle is depicted as looking towards its right shoulder with wings outstretched, and it holds in its claws a scroll bearing the name of the state. The eagle signifies strength, resilience, vision, and majesty.

The arms of Sudan depict a secretary bird bearing a traditional shield. Two scrolls are placed on the arms; the upper one displays the national motto, 'JUSTICE, LIBERTY, PROSPERITY', and the lower one displays the title of the state, 'REPUBLIC OF THE SUDAN' in the English language.

The coat of arms was adopted in July 2011 following independence from the Republic of Sudan. Prior to independence, South Sudan was an autonomous region of Sudan.

The design of the coat of arms was approved by the cabinet of the autonomous Government of Southern Sudan in April 2011, having previously been endorsed by the Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly in May 2011.
