Unfortunately, there's more --- FARC and other leftist groups are still active in Colombia and Peru. Eritrea has its own Tigray insurgency. DRC conflicts have spilled over into civil conflicts in Uganda and Rwanda. The Libyan civil war is slowing down but isn't over. Kurds are causing internal conflicts in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Georgia has a "frozen" conflict as does Moldova. Islamist in Afghanistan are now fighting each other. In Pakistan, there's groups in Balouchistan and Khyber. India has separatist groups in Assam and Punjab. The Moro insurgency along with Communists in the Philippines came to mind. Ethnic violence in South Sudan is common. Perhaps we can consider the Mexican drug wars a civil conflict. And is the Western Sahara conflict a Moroccan civil matter or an international conflict?

Yes, you named all of the countries, that came to my mind (at least Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Philippines, Colombia, South Sudan and Mexico are totally obvious) and few more.

Perhaps we need to define, when a frozen (or even active) conflict is considered a war. Sometimes there is used the "threshold" of 1000 deaths for a conflict to be considered a war. This was Morocco, Turkey, Peru, Rwanda or Uganda could be left out with virtually no casualties in recent years. On the other hand Indonesia, Angola or even Cameroon would drop off the list as well...
