As previously stated, “War isn’t the only thing that forces people to flee. In Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan people face religious persecution, political oppression, famine, drought, and violence from groups like the Taliban. You don’t need a declared war to live in fear or to have no future.”

Sure, Leo was asking me for stats about countries being at war. You're answering a different point.

Do you understand that 'war' is being used as shorthand here? Otherwise we could argue all day whether people are suffering due to war, civil war, genocide, terrorism, armed cultists, violent bigots, institutional homophobia, transphobia and misogyny, an attempt at colonisation, or something else?
