The Mathaba News Agency (MNA) was an independent alternative news agency founded in 1999. According to the site, MATHABA stood for Media Active To Help All Become Aware. The agency's tagline was, "News That Matters."[1][a]

The Mathaba News Agency provided hosting and news services for the International Green Charter Movement (IGCM),[3] based on Gaddafi's Green Book and given coverage to the political philosophy it espouses, known as the Third Universal Theory. The MNA also hosted a forum and a private microblogging service.[4] The MNA referred to itself as "the first stateless news organization in history," with the goal of offering readers "a better understanding of public issues and positive development".[1]

It has had limited comments and no new material for most of the period since the fall of the Qaddafi government in 2011.
