They fight alongside the Yemeni army loyal to president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, and the Popular committees. They are currently fighting against the Houthi fighters, and forces loyal to former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. In some provinces, they have united with the People's Committees to fight against AQAP.
Fighters
As of April 10, 2015, reports state that the popular resistance was formed by ordinary people to defend their homes against the Houthis during the Battle of Aden. After their creation, the resistance has played a major role during several battles, such as the Battle of Taiz and the Abyan campaign (March–August 2015).
