Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Yves Mutabazi, a national volleyball team player, has revealed that he has been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n

Early this year, the 26-year-old went missing from his apartment in Dubai \u2013 UAE where he plays professional volleyball for Al Jazira Sports Club, but was found in Abu Dhabi days later.<\/p>\n

A statement released by the Rwandan Embassy in the UAE upon finding him revealed that his disappearance from the public had been due to illness.<\/p>\n

Now – almost 3 months after the incident, Mutabazi has revealed that he had some issues with his mental health.<\/p>\n

Via his Instagram page, he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYes it’s true what you heard, I was sick and still am but now I know what I am up against. Some call it stress disorder or PTSD, while others just say crazy guy. Whatever you can call it, it\u2019s fine and it is true I was sick,\u201d he said adding that he talked to some professionals who provided him with the needed care that helped him get well.<\/p>\n

He thanked the Rwandan Embassy in the UAE for their support and some people that assisted him.<\/p>\n

Mutabazi is one of the most outstanding players in Rwanda currently.<\/p>\n

He captured the attention of many fans during the African Volleyball Championship held in Kigali in August last year, where he played a starring role, helping the country finish sixth.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old contributed 20 points in one game against Burkina Faso, before he also stunned Uganda with his robust ace-service.<\/p>\n

Mutabazi made his senior international debut at the age of 19.<\/p>\n

Among other achievements in his career, he helped Rwanda to finish fourth at the 2015 All-Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo.<\/p>\n

Mutabazi also won the 2014 local league title with APR, and was part of the national U-21 team that finished in 12th position \u2013 out of 20 teams \u2013 at the 2013 FIVB World Men\u2019s U-21 Championships in Turkey.<\/p>\n

In September 2021, Mutabazi joined Al Jazira Sport Club (United Arab Emirates) on a one-year contract.<\/p>\n
