This is a mammoth moment. Morocco reaching the last four of the biggest tournament in world football goes way beyond sport itself. It is a much-needed moment of collective joy and pride for a whole region and a continent. Three previous African sides had reached the quarter-finals of the competition - but could not take that step further. This time, it's different. Supporters have travelled from across the Arab world to be in Doha. As one fan put it: "This is a moment of confidence that we can stand head to head with the giants." For 5 Minutes On, BBC Africa's Peter Okwoche - who is in Morocco's capital, Rabat, and BBC Arabic's Sports Reporter, Marwa Helmy - among the fans in Qatar - reflect on what this achievement means.
