Murkrow is unobtainable for people who participated in the Wayfarer Challenge

Description of the issue: According to the Challenge Results and Rewards we should get Murkrow spawns worldwide ("chance to catch Shiny Murkrow" and "all event participants, regardless of location"). But it's bugged and Murkrow is only spawning in India. I got the free box and the increased Smeargle spawn from Photobombs, but Murkrow is not appearing at all. In some countries the event is already over and no Murkrow spawned during the entire day.
Device, OS: Android.
Thank you.

We didnt expect this to be any other way. It is a sad affair.
It's the same situation when they talk about getting encounters or eggs during other event. A 0.0001% chance is technically a chance.
As everybody knows, giving birth to a pokemon is a very long, complex and expensive process. Maybe you thought that it was just pushing a button, but if you follow the documentaries about the life of Pokémon staring that Ash boy you'll learn that they are incredible creatures, not a bunch of bytes.
so, i think that noone really cared, but neverthenless, there was no Murkrow where i am. Will there be an information to about why? Or will this be swept under the carpet like so many things before?
@NianticCasey-ING Tagging you here and referencing my post as well. This is a huge issue and needs to be rectified.

Dear Casey, dear Giffard, are you on easter holiday already? can you circle round and give us an update on this kerfuffle? Thank you!
@NianticCasey-ING Hello, still looking for a follow up why we weren’t provided the full rewards for the wayfarer event. No one saw any of the promised Murkrows. Also no one has received the passcodes for Ingress rewards.
@NianticCasey-ING Following up on this situation again. We havent heard anything on this issue yet.
I was disappointed by this. Having murkrow spawning, even if it had been by using a free special incense, would have been really useful to me.

Good Morning, I hope you are well today. Is there any chance we could receive a response on this issue today. A lot of us participated in the India Wayfarer Event and had a blast doing so. However, we didn't get the rewards we were promised.
Pokémon GO Players who participated did not see a SINGLE Murkrow during the event window, despite boosted spawn rates being promised.
Ingress Players haven't received their Passcode emails yet.
Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Niantic is aware of this, but decided to stay stum on it.
I guess they do not want to say something that could be held up against them.
This isnt really a nice way to say "We value you".
They will have a official wording on this, but havent decided yet.
Hi folks,
Apologies for the delay, I have been discussing this with the Wayfarer, Ingress and Pokémon GO teams and have provided an update here:
This is not an update this is aquote of your post from 25/3?
Its the 1st April today, nobody got shiny murkrow event - it simply didnt exist
Y'all got played again
I got the passcode. I'll redeem it in a few days.
I don't care about pokemon go rewards.
