Neighbors once called police to report strange noises from the apartment next door, where a refugee family from Africa was living, said Ann Brittain, director of immigration and refugee assistance for Catholic Charities. It turned out the family had brought home several live chickens for slaughter, as was customary in their homeland.

Similarly, a refugee at one local company caused a stir when he tried washing his feet in the cafeteria sink. Foot washing before prayer is a tradition in Islamic countries during the holy month of Ramadan, and the man was merely trying to practice his faith. The company resolved the culture clash by allowing the man to use a private room with a sink.

Thats not so bad.The first waryaas from the collapse of Africas human toilet,formerly known as Somalia, were booked in at the south b YMCA and what followed made the humans threaten to move.
Straight from the interior,waryaas could not believe the clean china bowl was actually for crapping and used variously the sink or the floor.It got so the cleaner refused to work,human guests threatened to leave and finally the UN swooped in and picked up their wildebeest.
It NEEDS TIME AND MUCH PATIENCE FOR THE WARYAA TO LEARN ANYTHING.

And why would that be an embarassment?

I think the live chicken scenario must a Somali Bantu practicing Juju or something but the wadaad taking weyso, it was a simple lack of knowledge and it's resolved and now he is enjoying his private room with a sink.

How about the writer of the article who says """"Foot washing before prayer is a tradition in Islamic countries during the holy month of Ramadan,""""

Is it only Ramadan that we pray and wash our feet? Likewise, it's a simple ignorance
