What you will see
Āsosa is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:37:13 local time, the Moon hides 58.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:14:44 and ends at 14:52:48, 2 h 38 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 76° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Āsosa.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,123 km north-east of Āsosa.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Jizan, about 1,152 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 06 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.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
