What side of the Yemeni Civil War do the Southern secessionists support?

The primary ally of the Southern Secessionists include the internationally-recognized Yemeni leadership by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Al-Hadi. Some argue that Ansar al-Sharia is an ally of the Southern Secessionists because both Ansar al-Sharia and the Southern Secessionists are Sunni Muslims and because both are the enemies of the Shiite Houthis.
