In the Libyan Civil War, Mathaba featured articles and republished blog posts from a pro-Gaddafi perspective, including reporting on Hugo Chavez's support for the Gaddafi government, while it also reported on Western opposition to the NATO military intervention, citing articles by Dennis Kucinich, among others. Frontline reports were regularly published summarizing each day's events, with claims of many battlefield victories by Gaddafi loyalists. On 16 August 2011, three months after rebels had defeated Gaddafi forces in Misrata, the news agency reported that "Misrata has been liberated by loyalist volunteers of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and the Libyan Defence Forces." It further reported on 25 August 2011, that news reports showing Tripoli in the hands of the rebels were "fake footage from Qatar" made using a "replica of Tripoli in Qatar ... used to spread fake media reports on Jazeera, CNN and the BBC world wide." As late as 1 September 2011, with the opposition in control of most of the country, the agency claimed that Gaddafi still had "massive support among an estimated 95% of the population."
