Draw:
Compared to prior July 8 incidents, tensions between the Talabani brothers and Sheikh Jangi erupted into public view, the border crossing revenue in Sulaymaniyah reduced by 19%, and tax revenue reduced by 13%.
It has been for a few days, reducing the border crossing revenue in Sulaymaniyah became a political matter once again. Kurdistan Region finance minister Awat Sheikh Janab says, "We have cash flow shortage in Sulaymaniyah Province. In Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Garmyan, and Raparing administration, Tax revenue is not collected as needed, which is the consequence of running payroll late.”
Before July 8, and rising tensions between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) leaders (the ruling party in Sulaymaniyah), PDK leaders in Erbil had reiterated that PUK does not return the Sulaymaniyah revenue to the government treasury. 
That time their fight was with Lahur Sheikh Jangi, the Co-President of the PUK. They would say he is the one who is preventing the tax collection by the government.
But now, things have been changed, Lahur Sheikh Jangi does not have power anymore among his party. The crossing border in the province is controlled by Qubad Talabani and Bafel Talabani, the sons of the late former Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
