What event in Afghanistan are you referring to and can you prove it was because of a lack of legitimacy due to lack of voter participation?

The fall of the government in Kabul. I'm not saying this is the single causal event, but lower than 10% voting definitely contributed to a lack of legitimacy of the central govt leading to its fall.
Do you proof that it was a cause?

Counter is that participation in European country elections is also low, though probably higher than 10 percent, but that didn't cause them to fall

Where in Europe is election participation even close to that low?
