People have been saying that since the mid-90s. State media simply re-inflames the old hatreds with every new generation.
UNITA and FNLA were plenty afraid. The Cuban coalition with Venezuela and Nicaragua is a perpetual thorn in the side of American policy makers. They're the largest unaligned economy in the Western Hemisphere and a global bio-tech leader despite the sanctions.
Americans are as nakedly hostile to an independent Cuba as the CCP is to an independent Taiwan.
Why are you talking about Angolan political parties? You're not in the graduate seminar now. You have to actually explain the connections. "Largest unaligned economy". That's code for "no one else wants to trade with these guys".
No one in America outside of Cubans cares about Cuba policy, and they don't want normalization. There's no animosity outside of Miami.
