This isn't the best point, unless it's refuting that the civilian casualties from the military operations constituted genocide, because

(1) the reported death toll is comparable to the yearly growth rate, so the death rate now exceeds the growth rate over the period of the war (so "the population is growing" is false since the beginning of the war), and

(2) if famine takes over and kills many more people--and this has not yet been averted--then the population could dip substantially, possibly even into this-is-looking-like-genocide levels. In any case, the population is certainly not secure right now, even if people are still alive.
