What you will see
El Fasher is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:08:59 local time, the Moon hides 47% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:48:15 and ends at 13:26:45, 2 h 39 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 84° above the horizon, towards the north-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from El Fasher.

The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,421 km north-east of El Fasher.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Darāw, about 1,438 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 08 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
