## Story

Mwanga is the home of **Kovu** and **Sarafina Odumbe,** where they spend most of their childhood in the Nyota District where it was mostly known for their blend of tribal and modern culture. Their parents, Nafisa and Ashura Odumbe served as pillars of the city and was well respected by the people of Mwanga because of their open minds and their belief in diversity and respect to one another.

However, the city was attacked by an unkown terrorist group which in result starting a devastating war which left most of the people of Mwanga and its foreign residents dead or critically injured and almost half of the city collapsed, which caused a compelete firestorm within the news from all over the world, years before the Omnic Crisis and most of Mwanga's natives, including Kovu and Sarafina to leave and seek refuge in other countries.

The history about the attack on Mwanga became a staple within their history and it caught the attention of the agents of Overwatch, including Jack Morrison aka Soldier: 76 whom he had heard about the attack. However, the people in Mwanga began to rebuild their city with the help of the other countries like the USA, Germany, UK, and Japan who they donated their time after the devastating attack and helped most people who were shook by the nightmare.

Kovu and Sarafina always mention their home and reminisce on how much they miss their family and friends there.
