Reading the article, the locals are complaining about:

1. They wanted free stuff (water), and didn't get it.

2. They wanted more free stuff (from robberies), and couldn't get it - security was tightened.

In many of these countries, the reason for lack of development is the local people. Foreign libertarian communities will need complete political autonomy, perhaps even to form their own federation of micronations, otherwise the local population will essentially hold them to ransom in exchange for an increasing share of productive output.

This is why it might be easier to develop advanced human communities on Mars - no locals to worry about!
