Are you sure BGP is at fault? TCP handshakes were able to comlpete and create a connection. I thought BGP at first as well but if the either BGP border was gone there would be no completed handshakes? Could you paste a log of BGP events at that period or point to a place that has event log related to the outage ?

the initial handshake of the connection in the affected countries is going through all the way obviously so the problem is not google services. the issue is in the interim path

I guess either this is an internet exchange collocation, ISP tier 1 fuckup or some of the non-existent agencies were instructed to sabotage connections. Or they did some interception fuckup.
