Answer 1

You have to remember that much of Africa was still colonised by the Europeans at this point, so it's more to do with what sider their colonizers were on.

Libya was an Italian-occupied state, so it was nominally Axis

Egypt was on the side of the Allies

Morocco belonged to Spain, but Spain allowed Germany to run operations within Morocco

Algeria was French, and I don't think it was very involved (as a nation) in the war, though there were battles fought there

Answer 2

Libya was an Italian colony and as such part of the Axis powers.

Egypt was a British colony and part of the Allies.

Morocco & Algeria were French colonies and followed French government, when France surrendered the French colonies of Morocco & Algeria became part of the Axis. French troops even fought the American troops that were landing to liberate Morocco from the Axis. Watch the movie Casablanca.

The people of these colonies were conscripted and volunteered in there respective militaries. By the end of the war many had served and fought on both sides.

Answer 3

With the exception of Egypt, they were technically Axis countries, because they were colonies of Vichy France. Egypt, a British protectorate, was the only country in North Africa that wasn't part of the Axis.

Well, actually, at the time, Morrocco was divided into French and Spanish colonies at the time, and so half was Axis aligned, the other nominally neutral.
