Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an equiangular triangle with circumcircle ω\omega. Let point FABF\in AB and point EACE\in AC so that ABE+ACF=60\angle ABE+\angle ACF=60^{\circ}. The circumcircle of triangle AFEAFE intersects the circle ω\omega in the point DD. The halflines DEDE and DFDF intersect the line through BB and CC in the points XX and YY. Prove that the incenter of the triangle DXYDXY is independent of the choice of EE and FF.
(The angles in the problem statement are not directed. It is assumed that EE and FF are chosen in such a way that the halflines DEDE and DFDF indeed intersect the line through BB and CC.)
