No act of criminality or provocation will be allowed to disrupt the public life and political process, it added.
The interim government stated, "Let us be clear: if these fires prove to be acts of sabotage, and their aim is to sow panic and division, they'll succeed only if we allow fear to overtake our reason and our resolve."
