How many of those people under 18 are boys over 15?

Militias rarely have age restrictions.

I am not sure what is the point you are trying to make with these stats.

It is clear that if half of the killed were militants, the other half is not by definition.

50% of casualties being civilians does not mean it is a genocide.
