Briefly yes, mostly the areas near the northern, Mediterranean coast. These nations were all colonies of European nations. Morocco was divided between France and Spain, and Algeria and Tunisia were French colonies. After the Germans conquered France they installed a puppet government in France, called the "Vichy Regime". This was the national government of France, and was an ally of Germany.
Italy tried to conquer Libya, and made such a mess of it that Hitler had to step in and help them out. The Germans sent the Afrika Korps to help the Italians fight the British troops, which were based in the British colonies of Egypt and Palestine.
US troops landed in November 1942 in Morocco and Algeria, and for three or four days the Vichy French military forces tried to fight them, before giving up and changing sides.
The British were pushing the Afrika Korps westward from Egypt, and US forces closed in from behind, and the end of the struggle came in Tunisia, with the Germans and Italians completely defeated.
