The article very well points out the correlation. However, less number of people is not necessarily the only cause for decrease in militancy. Socio-economic progress along with decreasing TFR will probably be a better metric to use for correlation.
Another point to note is that TFR going below 2.1 doesn't immediately mean population is decreasing. It takes 2-3 decades after that for the population to actually start decreasing. Just see the example of India as a whole. The TFR went below 2.1 in 2022 however the population is still going to increase until the decade of 2050.
