An Egyptian minister has claimed that Egypt is to establish a “Ministry of Happiness” in light of the country’s soaring prices of basic commodities and the continued repression and imprisonment of thousands of opposition figures.
... He added that this cooperation “marks the beginning of the formation of the Ministry of Happiness in Egypt in the near future,” stressing that “the government is interested in enhancing the citizens’ trust in various service facilities and raising the quality of services”.
...This comes amid the worst levels of oppression under the rule of President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, according to a recent report by Amnesty International.
Human Rights Watch (HRW)’s data confirms that there are 60,000 political prisoners in Egypt as a result of this ongoing oppression, which began with the July 2013 coup against the late President Mohamed Morsi.
..... In April, the UAE announced the creation of a new ministry under the name “Not Impossible”, which aimed to be “the first ministry ever that has no minister and its members are from the cabinet, working on important national files and developing new government regimes for the future.”
However, arbitrary measures against prisoners in the country have transformed the UAE into a “repressive and a low-reputation state,” according to human rights activists, who have pointed out the contradiction between these policies and the stated aims of the Ministry of Happiness.
