Problem Statement

Given is an equilateral triangle ABCABC and an arbitrary point, denoted by EE, on the line segment BCBC. Let ll be the line through AA parallel to BCBC and let KK be the point on ll such that KEKE is perpendicular to BCBC. The circle with centre KK and radius KEKE intersects the sides ABAB and ACAC at MM and NN, respectively. The line perpendicular to ABAB at MM intersects ll at DD, and the line perpendicular to ACAC at NN intersects ll at FF. Show that the point of intersection of the angle bisectors of angles MDAMDA and NFANFA belongs to the line KEKE.
