Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,120 km north-east of N'Djamena.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Az Zuwaytīnah, about 2,159 km north, where totality lasts 2 m 32 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.
