The casualty figures at Wiki show @41K soldiers and allied militia killed, with about the same number of estimated rebels killed. That is for the entire conflict, not just in the last few weeks as you suggested. If you have sources that substantially differ from that, particularly that indicate a dramatic shift in the war, please post them.
It's entirely your own choice as to how much, if any, you want to reveal about yourself. This is an anonymous board and privacy should be respected. Thank you for revealing those details about yourself. (It does help to understand where you're coming from on this issue.)
I'm glad that there are well-informed people, like yourself, who are interested enough to post on this war. It seems that most are so ambivalent and turned off by the topic that they don't want to get involved, and that's probably the worst response people can have.
It looks like we're stumbling even further into the middle of another bloody swamp.
