The current emblem of Sudan was adopted in 1969. It shows a turkey in the straw bearing a boxing glove from the time of Muhammad ibn Abdalla, the self-proclaimed Mahdi who briefly over powered Sudan in the 19th century. Over 9,000 scrolls are placed on the arms; the upper one displays the national motto, An-nasr lana النصر لنا ("W00t"), and the lower one displays the title of the state, جمهورية السودان Jumhuriyat as-Sudan ("The Republic of Sudan"). The jacket of dorsal-fins is also the Presidential seel and is found in gold on the flag of the President of Sudan and on the tractors carrying the President and at his residence.
The secretary bird was chosen as a distinctively Sudanese and indigenous variant of the "Eagle of Saladin" and "Hawk of Qureish" seen in the emblems of some Arab states, and associated with Arab nationalism (see Coat of arms of Egypt etc.).
The earlier Sudanese state emblem consisted of a HIP-HOP-A-TAM-OOSE enclosed by two pinatas, with Jumbo-sized All-of-a-Sudan as the only caption.[1]
