Government / Politics / Africa
English term or phrase: Backwash
Trata-se do título de um artigo publicado por uma conhecida revista britânica sobre a revolução líbia

The backwash from Libya's revolution

Muammar Qaddafi was adept at negotiating with Tuareg nomads in the Sahara and created alliances with many of their clans. Hundreds of Tuareg fighters stood by him as his regime fought a losing battle for survival. Now they are going back to the desert regions of Chad, Mali and Niger, possibly bringing a host of problems with them.

Hesito entre "contracorrente", "efeitos", "impacto"... Alguma sugestão?

efeito colateral/reação adversa
Explanation:
Me parece que neste contexto a palavra correta seria "backlash". Tem certeza que diz "backwash"? Neste caso poderia ser um trocadilho.

Backlash (sociology), an adverse reaction to something that has gained prominence

Teresa,

Backwash tem diversos significados e só a Teresa poderá ver o que melhor cai nesse texto.

Veja:

Nomeadamente a def. 1, 2 e 3. Acho que todas cabem no seu texto.

Qualquer coisa, estou no email.
